Java Reflection in Action

Java Reflection in Action is unique in presenting a clear account of all

the cool things you can do with reflection, and at the same time pro-

viding the sound conceptual basis that developers need to create

advanced applications. The book includes careful explanations of

sometimes perplexing programming techniques along with enough

background to understand how to extend and vary them. This book

overcomes reflection’s reputation as a mysterious and esoteric philo-

sophical pursuit, or as a set of messy error-prone coding tricks.

As reflection becomes increasingly common and useful in all sorts

of applications, it is great to finally have a book that features disci-

plined yet still creative and fun software engineering practices based

on reflection. Even occasional users will immediately adopt the

book’s patterns and idioms to solve common problems. Many of the

examples can be directly adapted for customized solutions in diverse

areas such as XML processing, automated software testing, and pro-

gram analysis tools. Readers will also find underlying rationales for

code performing introspection, proxies, class loading, and so on,

that are often seen but not often explained well in everyday Java pro-

grams. And even experts will find new ideas and well-thought out

advice for using some of the more subtle aspects of reflection.

—Prof. Doug Lea, SUNY Oswego,

author of Concurrent Programming in Java

Java has brought reflection to the programming masses, but they're

still struggling with it. The Formans turn struggle into adventure as

they guide you through one compelling example after another, each

one illustrating reflection’s power while avoiding its pitfalls.

—Dr. John Vlissides, IBM
