java reflection list,Java Reflection从字段获取实例

is there any way to get the Instance from a Field?

Here's a sample code:

public class Apple {

// ... a bunch of stuffs..

}

public class Person {

@MyAnnotation(value=123)

private Apple apple;

}

public class AppleList {

public add(Apple apple) {

//...

}

}

public class Main {

public static void main(String args[]) {

Person person = new Person();

Field field = person.getClass().getDeclaredField("apple");

// Do some random stuffs with the annotation ...

AppleList appleList = new AppleList();

// Now I want to add the "apple" instance into appleList, which I think

// that is inside of field.

appleList.add( .. . // how do I add it here? is it possible?

// I can't do .. .add( field );

// nor .add( (Apple) field );

}

}

I need to use Reflection, because I'm using it with annotations. This is just a "sample", the method AppleList.add(Apple apple) is actually called by getting the method from the class, and then invoking it.

and doing so, like: method.invoke( appleList, field );

causes: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch

*EDIT*

This might be helpful for someone who's looking for the same thing.

if the class Person, had 2 or more Apple variables:

public class Person {

private Apple appleOne;

private Apple appleTwo;

private Apple appleThree;

}

when I get the Field, like:

Person person = new Person();

// populate person

Field field = person.getClass().getDeclaredField("appleTwo");

// and now I'm getting the instance...

Apple apple = (Apple) field.get( person );

// this will actually get me the instance "appleTwo"

// because of the field itself...

at the beginning, by looking at the line alone: (Apple) field.get( person );

made me think that it would go and get an Instance which matches Apple class.

that's why I wondered: "which Apple will it return?"

The field isn't an apple itself - it's just a field. As it's an instance field, you need an instance of the declaring class before you can get a value. You want:

Apple apple = (Apple) field.get(person);

... after the apple field is populated for the instanced referred to be person, of course.
