getFiled of an object

/* Fetch a specific field of an object. */
	public static Object getField(Object obj, String name) {
		Class<?> clazz = obj.getClass();
		while(clazz != null) {
			try {
				Field field = clazz.getDeclaredField(name);
				if (field != null) {
					field.setAccessible(true);
					return field.get(obj);
				}
			}
			catch (Exception ex) {}
			clazz = clazz.getSuperclass();
		}
		return null;
	}

 

example:

// txt is string, name of swing like JTextField txt;

object = JCompUtil.getField(frame, txt);
		if (object instanceof JTextField) {
			jtxt = (JTextField) object;
		}
		else {
			return;
