Method Detail

set

public static void set(Object obj,
                       String method,
                       String value)
                throws NoSuchMethodException

Sets the given parameter on the object while smartly parsing the value. For example, if the value can be interpreted as an integer, will invoke the setFoo(int) or setFoo(Integer) methods of the given object as opposed to just dummily invoking the setFoo(String) method.

The setFoo(String) method is always tried as the last resort.

Parameters:

obj - Object to invoke the setter on

method - The setter (e.g. "setFoo").

value - Value to set.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - If there is no applicable method to set this value.
