Constructor

Constructor Manipulation using Mirror.

Reflecting

Reflecting a constructor by arguments (will return null if not found):


Class<T> clazz;

Constructor<T> c = new Mirror().on(clazz).reflect().constructor()

                        .withArgs(String.class, Object.class);

Reflecting all constructors of a class (will return an empty list if none found):


Class<T> clazz;

List<Constructor<T>> l = new Mirror().on(clazz).reflectAll().constructors();

Reflecting all constructors of a class that matches a Matcher<Constructor> (will return an empty list if none found):


Class<T> clazz;

List<Constructor<T>> l = new Mirror().on(clazz).reflectAll()

                                  .constructorsMatching(new YourCustomMatcher());

Invoking Constructors

Invoking a constructor:


Class<T> clazz;

T t = new Mirror().on(clazz).invoke().constructor().withoutArgs();

You can also pass a java.lang.reflect.Constructor:


Constructor<T> aConstructor;

Class<T> clazz;

T t = new Mirror().on(clazz).invoke().constructor(aConstructor).withArgs(value1, value2);
