Get modifiers for constructors in Java
Description
The following code shows how to get modifiers for constructors.
Example
/*ww w . j a va 2 s . co m*/
import static java.lang.System.out;
import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.Modifier;
public class Main {
public static void main(String... args) {
try {
Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
Constructor[] allConstructors = c.getDeclaredConstructors();
for (Constructor ctor : allConstructors) {
int searchMod = modifierFromString(args[1]);
int mods = accessModifiers(ctor.getModifiers());
if (searchMod == mods) {
out.format("%s%n", ctor.toGenericString());
out.format(" [ synthetic=%-5b var_args=%-5b ]%n",
ctor.isSynthetic(), ctor.isVarArgs());
}
}
// production code should handle this exception more gracefully
} catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
x.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static int accessModifiers(int m) {
return m & (Modifier.PUBLIC | Modifier.PRIVATE | Modifier.PROTECTED);
}
private static int modifierFromString(String s) {
if ("public".equals(s))
return Modifier.PUBLIC;
else if ("protected".equals(s))
return Modifier.PROTECTED;
else if ("private".equals(s))
return Modifier.PRIVATE;
else if ("package-private".equals(s))
return 0;
else
return -1;
}
}
