Java reflection with primitive types

[Zach]

I want to call a class function through invoke(...) in class Method. If
this function's arguments are different primitive types, can I call it
with invoke(...)? For example, how can I call foo() in class A in
following example?

public class A
{
public A() {}

public int foo(int a, boolean b)
{
...
}
}

Is it doable?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, it is.

Just use the corresponding wrapper for primitive types.

int --> Integer
boolean --> Boolean
etc..

Class[] paramTypes = new Class[] {int.class, boolean.class};
Method foo = A.class.getMethod("foo", paramTypes);
Object[] params = new Object[] {new Integer(55), Boolean.TRUE};
int rc = ((Integer)foo.invoke(new A(), params)).intValue();
System.out.println("foo returned " + rc);
