Returns:

a Map of FieldName / Value

Since:

jcms-4.2

introspectFields

public static java.util.Map introspectFields(java.lang.Class clazz)

Introspect a Class to retrieve public fields

getAllFields

public static java.lang.reflect.Field[] getAllFields(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

Return a list of all fields (whatever access status, and on whatever superclass they were defined) that can be found on this class. This is like a union of Class.getDeclaredFields() which ignores and super-classes, and Class.getFields() which ignored non-public fields.

Parameters:

clazz - The class to introspect

Returns:

The complete list of fields

copyDeclaredFields

public static void copyDeclaredFields(java.lang.Object src,
