AccessibleObject

java.lang.reflect

---

Java 1.2

This class is the superclass of the Method , Constructor , and Field classes; its methods provide a mechanism for trusted applications to work with private , protected , and default visibility members that would otherwise not be accessible through the Reflection API. This class is new as of Java 1.2; in Java 1.1, the Method , Constructor , and Field classes extended Object directly.

To use the java.lang.reflect package to access a member to which your code would not normally have access, pass TRue to the setAccessible( ) method. If your code has an appropriate ReflectPermission (such as "suppressAccessChecks"), this allows access to the member as if it were declared public . The static version of setAccessible( ) is a convenience method that sets the accessible flag for an array of members but performs only a single security check.
