Hi,

Example code proving beyond any doubt that a method is an instance of
the class java.lang.reflect.Method in Java:

  public final void setValue(BaseObject baseObject, Object value) {
    java.lang.reflect.Method setMethod = null;
    try {
      setMethod =
baseObjectClass.getJavaClass().getMethod(this.getSetMethodName(), new
Class[]{this.type});
      } catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
 
Logger.getLogger(BaseObjectAttribute.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
      } catch (SecurityException ex) {
 
Logger.getLogger(BaseObjectAttribute.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
      }
    try {
      setMethod.invoke(baseObject, new Object[]{value});
    } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
 
Logger.getLogger(BaseObjectAttribute.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {
 
Logger.getLogger(BaseObjectAttribute.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
    } catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
 
Logger.getLogger(BaseObjectAttribute.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE,
null, ex);
    }
  }

Kind regards, Paka
