Passing the primitive type and calling methods via reflection

Question

I am working on a kind of Framework. Here I will have to call a particular method on a particular class with particular parameters. I will receive parameter values in string form.

like inputs will be,

---

class name : com.classes.MyClass

method name : setPrimtiveType

Value : "true"

type of value : boolean

---

Here the problem is that the method I am trying to call via reflection accepts primitive type. this type is also an input to set the particular parameter.

I am not getting any in reflection so this can be achieved.

Answer 1

if this is your class

class MyClass {
    public static void setPrimitiveType(boolean v) {
    }
}

then this is how to set boolean value

MyClass.class.getMethod("setPrimitiveType", boolean.class).invoke(null, true);
