                     ClassLoader classloader)
                          throws ClassNotFoundException

Find a class. When the class name is not fully qualified, the list of imported packages is searched for the class.

Parameters:

imports - The comma separated list of imported packages.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - when the class is not found in the imports.

Match the given argument types to a set of parameter type arrays. The argument type array may contain null values, when an argument type is unknown. For convenience, the length of a parameter type array does not have to equal the argument array length. (although it will of course never match). The method returns the indices of the matching parameter type arrays. An empty array is returned, if no match is found. The returned matches are sorted by quality (best match first).

Parameters:

argtypes - The array of argument types.

paramtypes - The array of parameter type arrays.

Returns:

The indices of the matching parameter type arrays.

isSupertype

public static boolean isSupertype(Class clazz1,

convertWrappedValue

public static Object convertWrappedValue(Object value,
                         Class clazz)

Convert a value to the correct wrapped type. Assumes that the conversion is possible.

Parameters:

value - The value.

clazz - The target clazz.

Returns:

The converted value.
