I have a generic java interface Id with a single method T getId() and a class MyClass that implements Id. When I inspect the methods declared on MyClass using java reflection, I see two methods: one with return type Long, and one with return type Object. Where does the second method come from and how can I remove it?
Here is the source:
package mypackage;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (Method method : MyClass.class.getDeclaredMethods()) {
System.out.println(method);
}
// prints out two lines
// public java.lang.Long mypackage.MyClass.getId()
// public java.lang.Object mypackage.MyClass.getId()
}
}
interface Id {
T getId();
}
class MyClass implements Id {
@Override
public Long getId() {
return new Long(0);
};
}
解决方案
The second method is a synthetic bridge method, you can check it with method.isSynthetic() or method.isBridge(). You can't remove it, but if you don't want to see it in the list of declared methods, just check all those methods to have isBridge() == false.
Synthetic bridge methods are added automatically to generic classes during compilation. You can read more about synthetic methods here.
for (Method method : MyClass.class.getDeclaredMethods()) {
System.out.println("Method: " + method);
System.out.println("synthetic: " + method.isSynthetic());
System.out.println("bridge: " + method.isBridge());
}
// 1
//Method: public java.lang.Long Main$MyClass.getId()
//synthetic: false
//bridge: false
// 2
//Method: public java.lang.Object Main$MyClass.getId()
//synthetic: true
//bridge: true
