How do I get all fields of embedded classes?

Question

I have an instance of class Account (let's call it entity):

private String accountType;
private List<String> attributes = new ArrayList<>();
private Date createdDate;
private ContactInfo contactInfo;
private AccountStatus accountStatus;

As you can see there are classes "ContactInfo" and "AccountStatus" inside. How can I get all fields in Account class and all it's used classes providing that I have the entity?

This is what I write now, which only return all the fields in given entity.

private static <T> List<Field> getFields(T entity) {
  List<Field> fields = new ArrayList<>();
  Class clazz = entity.getClass();
  PropertyDescriptor[] propertyDescriptors;
  try {
    propertyDescriptors = Introspector.getBeanInfo(clazz, Object.class).getPropertyDescriptors();
  } catch (IntrospectionException e) {
    // do something
  }
  for (PropertyDescriptor pd : propertyDescriptors) {
    Field field = null;
    Class klass = clazz;
    while (klass != null && field == null) {
      try {
        field = klass.getDeclaredField(pd.getName());
      } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
        klass = klass.getSuperclass();
      }
    }
    fields.add(field);
  }
  return fields;
}

Thanks to @Andreas new I have it solved:

private static <T extends BaseEntity> List<Field> getFields(T entity) {
  List<Field> fields = new ArrayList<>();
  Class clazz = entity.getClass();
  PropertyDescriptor[] propertyDescriptors;
  try {
    propertyDescriptors = Introspector.getBeanInfo(clazz, Object.class).getPropertyDescriptors();
  } catch (IntrospectionException e) {
    return fields;
  }
  for (PropertyDescriptor pd : propertyDescriptors) {
    List<Field> subFields = getSettableFields(pd.getPropertyType());
    if (subFields.isEmpty()) {
      try {
        fields.add(clazz.getDeclaredField(pd.getName()));
      } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
        return fields;
      }
    } else {
      fields.addAll(subFields);
    }
  }
  return fields;
}
private static List<Field> getFields(Class<?> clazz) {
  List<Field> fields = new ArrayList<>();
  PropertyDescriptor[] propertyDescriptors;
  try {
    propertyDescriptors = Introspector.getBeanInfo(clazz, Object.class).getPropertyDescriptors();
  } catch (IntrospectionException e) {
    return fields;
  }
  for (PropertyDescriptor pd : propertyDescriptors) {
    try {
      fields.add(clazz.getDeclaredField(pd.getName()));
    } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
      return fields;
    }
  }
  return fields;
}
