      • isCollection

        public static boolean isCollection​(java.lang.Class<?> f)
        Test if the given class implements the java.util.Collection interface. The whole hierarchy of the class is tested.
        Parameters:
        f - The class to be tested.
        Returns:
        True if the class is a Collection, false otherwise.

      • isEditable

        public static boolean isEditable​(java.lang.Class<?> c)
        Test if the given class is a wrapper for a native type or a string. It could be a Double, Long, Integer, Float, String, Character or Boolean.
        Parameters:
        c - The class to be tested.
        Returns:
        True if class is of a native type, false in any other case.

      • isEditable

        public static boolean isEditable​(java.lang.Object o)
        Test if the given object is a wrapper for a native type or a string. It could be a Byte, Double, Long, Short, Integer, Float, String, Character or Boolean.
        Parameters:
        o - The object to be tested.
        Returns:
        True if class is of a native type, false in any other case.

      • isAnExecutableMethod

        public static boolean isAnExecutableMethod​(java.lang.reflect.Method m)
        Test if the given method requires parameters of a native type. In this case the method can be executed.
        Parameters:
        m - The method to be tested.
        Returns:
        True if the method requires only native-type parameters. A parameter is native type if int, long, ... or its corresponding wrapper class (Integer, Double, Long, ...).

      • setValueToObject

        public static void setValueToObject​(java.lang.Object o,
                                    java.lang.Object val)
        Set a given value wrapped by an Object into the wrapper object.
        Parameters:
        o - The object to be updated. It must be of a native wrapper class (String, Double, Long, ...).
        val - An object whose toString() method return a valid format for the class type of object o.
