A Field provides information about, and dynamic access to, a
single field of a class or an interface. The reflected field may
be a class (static) field or an instance field.
A Field permits widening conversions to occur during a get or
set access operation, but throws an IllegalArgumentException if a
narrowing conversion would occur.

that declares the field represented by this Field object.getDeclaringClass in interface Memberpublic String getName()
Field object.getName in interface Memberpublic int getModifiers()
Field object, as an integer. The Modifier class should
be used to decode the modifiers.getModifiers in interface MemberModifierpublic Class getType()
Class object that identifies the declared type for
the field represented by this Field object.public boolean equals(Object obj)
Field against the specified object. Returns
true if the objects are the same. Two Field objects are the same if
they were declared by the same class and have the same name
and type.equals in class Objectjava.lang.Objectobj - the reference object with which to compare.true if this object is the same as the obj
argument; false otherwise.Boolean.hashCode(),
Hashtablepublic int hashCode()
Field. This is computed as the
exclusive-or of the hashcodes for the underlying field's
declaring class name and its name.hashCode in class Objectjava.lang.ObjectObject.equals(java.lang.Object),
Hashtablepublic String toString()
Field. The format is
the access modifiers for the field, if any, followed
by the field type, followed by a space, followed by
the fully-qualified name of the class declaring the field,
followed by a period, followed by the name of the field.
For example:
public static final int java.lang.Thread.MIN_PRIORITY
private int java.io.FileDescriptor.fd
The modifiers are placed in canonical order as specified by "The Java Language Specification". This is public, protected or private first, and then other modifiers in the following order: static, final, transient, volatile.
toString in class Objectjava.lang.Object
public Object get(Object obj)
throws IllegalArgumentException,
IllegalAccessException
Field, on
the specified object. The value is automatically wrapped in an
object if it has a primitive type.
The underlying field's value is obtained as follows:
If the underlying field is a static field, the obj argument
is ignored; it may be null.
Otherwise, the underlying field is an instance field. If the
specified obj argument is null, the method throws a
NullPointerException. If the specified object is not an
instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying
field, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.
If this Field object enforces Java language access control, and
the underlying field is inaccessible, the method throws an
IllegalAccessException.
If the underlying field is static, the class that declared the
field is initialized if it has not already been initialized.
Otherwise, the value is retrieved from the underlying instance or static field. If the field has a primitive type, the value is wrapped in an object before being returned, otherwise it is returned as is.
If the field is hidden in the type of obj,
the field's value is obtained according to the preceding rules.
IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor
is inaccessible.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not an
instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying
field (or a subclass or implementor thereof).NullPointerException - if the specified object is null
and the field is an instance field.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked
by this method fails.
public boolean getBoolean(Object obj)
throws IllegalArgumentException,
IllegalAccessException

This method is equivalent to
((Boolean)get(obj)).booleanValue(),
except that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown
if the field value cannot be converted to the type
boolean by a widening conversion.IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor

an instance of the class or interface declaring the
underlying field (or a subclass or implementor
thereof), or if the field value cannot be

and the field is an instance field.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked
by this method fails.get(java.lang.Object)
public byte getByte(Object obj)

and the field is an instance field.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked
by this method fails.get(java.lang.Object)

short by a widening conversion.IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor
is inaccessible.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not
an instance of the class or interface declaring the
underlying field (or a subclass or implementor
thereof), or if the field value cannot be
converted to the type short by a
widening conversion.NullPointerException - if the specified object is null
and the field is an instance field.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked
by this method fails.get(java.lang.Object)
public int getInt(Object obj)
throws IllegalArgumentException,
IllegalAccessException

This method is equivalent to
((Number)get(obj)).intValue(),
except that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown
if the field value cannot be converted to the type
int by a widening conversion.IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor
is inaccessible.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not
an instance of the class or interface declaring the
underlying field (or a subclass or implementor

by this method fails.get(java.lang.Object)
public float getFloat(Object obj)

except that an IllegalArgumentException is thrown
if the field value cannot be converted to the type
float by a widening conversion.IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor
is inaccessible.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not

public void set(Object obj,
Object value)
throws IllegalArgumentException,
IllegalAccessException
Field object on the
specified object argument to the specified new value. The new
value is automatically unwrapped if the underlying field has a
primitive type.
The operation proceeds as follows:
If the underlying field is static, the obj argument is
ignored; it may be null.
Otherwise the underlying field is an instance field. If the
specified object argument is null, the method throws a
NullPointerException. If the specified object argument is not
an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying
field, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.
If this Field object enforces Java language access control, and
the underlying field is inaccessible, the method throws an
IllegalAccessException.
If the underlying field is final, the method throws an
IllegalAccessException.
If the underlying field is of a primitive type, an unwrapping
conversion is attempted to convert the new value to a value of
a primitive type. If this attempt fails, the method throws an
IllegalArgumentException.
If, after possible unwrapping, the new value cannot be
converted to the type of the underlying field by an identity or
widening conversion, the method throws an
IllegalArgumentException.
If the underlying field is static, the class that declared the field is initialized if it has not already been initialized.
The field is set to the possibly unwrapped and widened new value.
If the field is hidden in the type of obj,
the field's value is set according to the preceding rules.
IllegalAccessException - if the underlying constructor
is inaccessible.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not an
instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying
field (or a subclass or implementor thereof),
or if an unwrapping conversion fails.NullPointerException - if the specified object is null
and the field is an instance field.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked
by this method fails.

by this method fails.set(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
