public final class Field
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.

If the Type is a parameterized type, the Type object returned must accurately reflect the actual type parameters used in the source code.
If the type of the underlying field is a type variable or a parameterized type, it is created. Otherwise, it is resolved.
GenericSignatureFormatError

signature does not conform to the format specified in the Java
Virtual Machine Specification, 3rd edition
TypeNotPresentException
- if the generic type
signature of the underlying field refers to a non-existent
type declaration
MalformedParameterizedTypeException
- if the generic
signature of the underlying field refers to a parameterized type
that cannot be instantiated for any reasonpublic boolean equals(Object obj)

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.

For example:

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.

Field
, including
its generic typepublic 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.

ExceptionInInitializerError
- if the initialization provoked

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
unless
setAccessible(true)
has succeeded for this field
and this field is non-static. Setting a final field in this way
is meaningful only during deserialization or reconstruction of
instances of classes with blank final fields, before they are
made available for access by other parts of a program. Use in
any other context may have unpredictable effects, including cases
in which other parts of a program continue to use the original
value of this field.
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.
obj

- the new value for the field of obj
