Method Detail

getOrderedSuperclasses

public static java.lang.Class[] getOrderedSuperclasses(java.lang.Class cls,
                                                       boolean bIncludeClass)

This method deduces the super classes for the given class, and returns them in an ordered array. The array begins with the immediate superclass and extends to the most remote (java.lang.Object).

Returns:

Array of superclasses

getOrderedInterfaces

public static java.lang.Class[] getOrderedInterfaces(java.lang.Class cls)

This method deduces the implemented interfaces for the given class, including all those declared in superclasses, and returns them in an ordered array. The array is ordered with respect to remoteness of (super)class on which they are implemented, but there is no ordering between interfaces implemented at the same level in the inheritance tree.

Returns:

Array of implemented interfaces
