反射01 Class类的使用、动态加载类、类类型说明、获取类的信息

 

0 Java反射机制

　　反射（Reflection）是 Java 的高级特性之一，是框架实现的基础。

　　0.1 定义

　　　　Java 反射机制是在运行状态中，对于任意一个类，都能够知道这个类的所有属性和方法；对于任意一个对象，都能够调用它的任意一个方法和属性；这种动态获取的信息以及动态调用对象的方法的功能称为 Java 语言的反射机制。 

　　　　一般而言，当用户使用一个类的时候，应该获取这个类，而后通过这个类实例化对象，但是使用反射则可以相反的通过对象获取类中的信息。

　　　　通俗的讲反射就是可以在程序运行的时候动态装载类，查看类的信息，生成对象，或操作生成的对象。它允许运行中的 Java 程序获取自身的信息，自己能看到自己，就像照镜子一样。【源自gitChat】

1 Class类的使用

　　1.1 扫盲知识点

　　　　在Java的世界里，万事万物都是对象【PS: 类也是一个对象】。

　　　　坑01：java语言中，静态成员、普通数据类型不是对象

　　　　技巧01：普通的数据类型虽然不是对象，但是普通的数据类型都有对应的包装类来让其转化成一个对象

　　　　技巧02：静态的成员是属于类的而不是属于对象的，所以静态的成员不是对象

　　　　技巧03：所有的类都是java.lang.Class的实例对象【there is a class name Class：Class类的实例就是所有的实例对象所属的类】

　　1.2 Class类实例的创建

　　　　任何一个类都是Class类的实例对象，Class类的实例对象有三种表示方式；

　　　　类也是一个实例对象，是Class类的实例对象，这个对象我们称为该类的类类型；

　　　　　　例如：我们创建一个名为Foo的类，Foo类就是Class类的实例对象，假设Foo类对应的Class类的实例名为c1，那么我们就称c1是Foo类的类类型

　　　　　　总结：类类型就是Class类的一个实例，而且一个类只能有一个类类型，也就是所一个类只能和一个Class对应；虽然可以通过三种方式创建一个Class实例，但是针对一个类而言这三种方式创建得到的Class实例都是相等的，因为一个类的类类型只能和一个Class的实例对象。（即：一个类通过三种方式创建的类类型其实是一样的）

　　　　技巧01：不同的类对应的类类型都不一样，同理，不同的类对应的Class类实例都不一样

　　　　技巧02：同一个类只有一个类类型，同理，同一个类只和一个Class类实例对应；所以，同一个类通过不同方式创建的类类型都是一样的

　　　　1.2.1 利用class创建

　　　　　　任何一个类都默认拥有一个名为class的静态成员变量，该类可以利用class静态成员去创建该类的类实例。

　　　　　　　　例如：创建了一个名为Foo的类，执行 Foo.class 就会创建一个 Class 的实例，我们把得到的Class实例命名为c1，这个c1就是Foo类对应的类类型

　　　　1.2.2 利用实例对象创建

　　　　　　如果已经得到了某个类的实例，那么可以调用这个实例的成员方法getClass去创建该实例所属类的类类型

　　　　　　　　例如：创建了一个名为Foo的类，根据Foo创建了一个Foo的实例对象foo，我们可以利用foo去调用getClass来创建Class类的一个实例c2，这个c2就是foo所属类Foo的类类型

　　　　1.2.3 利用Class类创建

　　　　　　Class类有一个静态方法forName，Class类可以利用这个静态方法创建一个Class实例；forName方法的参数是一个类的全名

　　　　　　　　例如：创建了一个类Foo，该类的全名为 demo06_reflect.case01_class.Foo ，那么就可以利 Class.forName("demo06_reflect.case01_class.Foo")

去创建一个Class类的实例c3，这个c3就是Foo类的类类型

package demo06_reflect.case01_class;

/**
 * @author 王杨帅
 * @create 2018-08-03 21:43
 * @desc Class的使用
 **/
public class Demo01_Class {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // 创建Foo类的一个实例foo, Foo是foo的实例类型，foo是Foo的一个实例
        Foo foo = new Foo();

        // Class实例创建01：利用静态成员calss创建
        Class c1 = Foo.class;

        // Class实例创建02：利用实例成员ngetClass创建
        Class c2 = foo.getClass();

//        因为一个类只和一个Class实例对应，所以结果为true
        System.out.println(c1 == c2);

        // Class实例创建03：利用Class类的静态成员forName创建
        try {
            Class c3 = Class.forName("demo06_reflect.case01_class.Foo");
            System.out.println(c1 == c3);
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


    }

}

class Foo {
    public String name = "warrio";
    public void pirnt() {
        System.out.println("foo");
    }
}

　　1.3 Class类实例的作用

　　　　可以利用Class类实例去创建对应类的实例

　　　　　　例如：c1是Foo类对应的Class实例（即：c1是Foo类的类类型），那么可以调用c1的实例方法newInstance去创建一个Foo实例foo，此时Foo类就称为foo实例的实例类型

　　　　技巧01：通过Class实例创建该实例对应类的实例是必须进行类型转换，因为Class实例创建出来的实例类型都是Object类型的；而且还必须进行异常处理

　　　　技巧02：Class实例对应的类必须拥有无参构造器【PS: 有参构造器会覆盖默认的无参构造器】

package demo06_reflect.case01_class;

/**
 * @author 王杨帅
 * @create 2018-08-03 21:43
 * @desc Class的使用
 **/
public class Demo01_Class {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            Foo foo = (Foo) Foo.class.newInstance();
            foo.print();
        } catch (InstantiationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

class Foo {
    public String name = "warrio";
    public void print() {
        System.out.println("foo");
    }

    public Foo() {
    }

    public Foo(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

　　1.4 代码汇总

package demo06_reflect.case01_class;

/**
 * @author 王杨帅
 * @create 2018-08-03 21:43
 * @desc Class的使用
 **/
public class Demo01_Class {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

//        Foo实例的表示
        Foo f1 = new Foo();

//        Foo也是一个实例对象【Foo类是Class类的实例对象】

        /**
         * 任何一个类都是Class类的实例对象，Class类的实例对象有三种表示方式
         */
//        Class实例的表示01：任何一个类都有一个隐含的静态成员变量class
        Class c1 = Foo.class;

//        Class实例的表示02：任何一个实例对象通过getClass方法就可以创建出一个Class类的实例
        Class c2 = f1.getClass();

        /**
         * c1 c2 表示了Foo类的类类型（class type）
         *      类也是一个实例对象，是Class类的实例对象；这个对象我们成为该类的类类型
         *      【类类型就是Class类的一个实例对象，而且一个类类型只能和一个Class的实例对应】
         */

//        c1 和 c2 都代表了Foo类的类类型，一个类只可能是Class类的一个实例对象
        System.out.println(c1 == c2);

//        Class实例的表示03：直接利用 Class 类的 forName 静态方法实现
        try {
            Class c3 = Class.forName("demo06_reflect.case01_class.Foo");
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

//        04 可以利用该类的类类型创建该类的对象【通过c1/c2/c3创建Foo的实例】
//                前提：Foo类必须拥有无参数的构造方法
        try {
            Foo f2 = (Foo) c2.newInstance();
            f2.print();
        } catch (InstantiationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Class c = Foo2.class;
        System.out.println(c1 == c);

    }

}

class Foo {
    void print(){
        System.out.println("foo");
    }
}

class Foo2 {}

 

2 动态加载类

　　2.1 扫盲知识点

　　　　Class.forName("类的全名") 不仅表示了类的类类型，还代表了动态加载类；

　　　　编译时刻加载类是静态加载类，运行时刻加载类是动态加载类 。

　　2.2 静态加载测试

　　　　2.2.1 需求

　　　　　　根据主函数中的参数创建对应的实例，并调用实例的方法

　　　　2.2.2 代码实现

public class Office {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello Boy");

        if ("Word".equals(args[0])) {
            Word word = new Word();
            word.start();
        }

        if ("Excel".equals(args[0])) {
            Excel excel = new Excel();
            excel.start();
        }

    }

}

　　　　2.2.3 编译

　　　　　　进入到存放源文件的文件夹，执行 javac "源文件名.java" 就可以对源文件进行编译

　　　　2.2.4 编译报错原因

　　　　　　在源代码中需要用到 Word 和 Excel 两个类，所以这两个类必须存在，而且必须经过编译

　　　　　　技巧01：因为源代码中是利用 new 关键字进行实例创建的，这种方式是静态加载类的方式，所以用到的类必须存在而且编译好的

　　　　　　技巧02：执行 javac Office.java 时会自动编译 Word.java、Excel.java 两个文件【PS: 前提是存在】

public class Word {
    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Word start...");
    }
}

public class Excel {
    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Excel start...");
    }
}

　　　　2.2.5 运行测试

　　　　　　运行 Office 时，传入 Word 或者 Excel ，查看效果：

　　　　　　　　例如： java Office Word　　

　　2.3 静态加载的缺点

　　　　需要进行静态加载的类必须存在，如果有一个不存在的话就会导致整个代码编译失败

　　　　　　例如：删掉Excel类，再次执行 javac Office.java 

　　2.4 动态加载类的作用

　　　　技巧01根据类的全名去动态加载类是在运行期间进行的

　　　　2.4.1 需求

　　　　　　根据不同的类名称去动态加载不同的类，让后调用该类的实例【PS: 这里的不同类指的是实现了同一接口的不同实现类】

　　　　2.4.2 思路

　　　　　　》定义一个OfficeAble接口，让Word和Excel都实现这个接口

　　　　　　》通过Class.fromName来动态加载类得到的类类型

　　　　　　》通过类类型去创建实例，将的到的实例类型指定为OfficeAble类型

　　　　　　》利用多态的特性去调用实例的方法

　　　　2.4.3 代码改进

　　　　　　技巧01：动态加载用到的类需要提前编译好，不然运行时会找不到需要的文件

　　　　　　技巧02：动态加载类可以根据不同的参数动态加载不同的实现类

public interface OfficeAble {
    void start();
}

public class Word implements OfficeAble {
    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Word start...");
    }
}

public class Excel implements OfficeAble {
    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Excel start...");
    }
}

public class OfficeBetter {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Class c = Class.forName(args[0]);
            OfficeAble officeAble = (OfficeAble)c.newInstance();
            officeAble.start();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

　　2.5 动态加载使用场景

　　　　业务功能更新，某个业务需要更新时，只需要一个重新实现了该业务接口的类，将其进行编译后，程序调用时修改调用的类名即可，这样就可以通过类的动态加载来实现局部业务的更新。

　　　　　　

3 类类型说明

　　除了类拥有类类型外，基本的数据类型也拥有类类型。

　　技巧01：基本类型和基本类型对应的包装类型各自都有各自的类类型

package demo06_reflect.case03_method;

/**
 * @author 王杨帅
 * @create 2018-08-05 22:25
 * @desc 基本类型和void都有类类型
 **/
public class Demo01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Class c1 = int.class;
        System.out.println(c1.getName());

        Class c2 = Integer.class;
        System.out.println(c2.getName());

        Class c3 = void.class;
        System.out.println(c3.getName());

        Class c4 = Void.class;
        System.out.println(c4.getName());
    }

}

/**
 * Instances of the class {@code Class} represent classes and
 * interfaces in a running Java application.  An enum is a kind of
 * class and an annotation is a kind of interface.  Every array also
 * belongs to a class that is reflected as a {@code Class} object
 * that is shared by all arrays with the same element type and number
 * of dimensions.  The primitive Java types ({@code boolean},
 * {@code byte}, {@code char}, {@code short},
 * {@code int}, {@code long}, {@code float}, and
 * {@code double}), and the keyword {@code void} are also
 * represented as {@code Class} objects.
 *
 * <p> {@code Class} has no public constructor. Instead {@code Class}
 * objects are constructed automatically by the Java Virtual Machine as classes
 * are loaded and by calls to the {@code defineClass} method in the class
 * loader.
 *
 * <p> The following example uses a {@code Class} object to print the
 * class name of an object:
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 *     void printClassName(Object obj) {
 *         System.out.println("The class of " + obj +
 *                            " is " + obj.getClass().getName());
 *     }
 * </pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> It is also possible to get the {@code Class} object for a named
 * type (or for void) using a class literal.  See Section 15.8.2 of
 * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>.
 * For example:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *     {@code System.out.println("The name of class Foo is: "+Foo.class.getName());}
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * @param <T> the type of the class modeled by this {@code Class}
 * object.  For example, the type of {@code String.class} is {@code
 * Class<String>}.  Use {@code Class<?>} if the class being modeled is
 * unknown.

　　4.1 获取类名信息

　　　　Class类的成员方法 getSimpleName、getName 可以获取到类名相关的信息

　　　　技巧01：虽然参数类型是Object类型，但是实际上传递过来的实参是哪个类的对象，c就是哪个类的类类型

　　　　　　例如：传入的 String 的一个实例，那么 c 就是 String 的类类型

    public static void printClassInfo(Object object) {
        // 01 获取类类型
        Class c = object.getClass();

        // 02 调用Class实例的相关方法获取类名信息
        System.out.println("类的名称为：" + c.getSimpleName());
        System.out.println("类的全名为：" + c.getName());
    }

　　4.2 获取方法信息

　　　　技巧01：所有的方法都是Method的实例

　　　　技巧02：Class类的getMethods获取的是本类以及父类中public修饰的方法;Class类的getDeclaredMethods()获取到的是本类中所有的方法【不包括父类的】

　　　　技巧03：Method类的相关成员方法 

　　　　　　getReturnType -> 获取方法返回类型 -> 返回值是一个Class实例

　　　　　　getName -> 获取方法名 -> 返回值是一个String实例

　　　　　　getParameterTypes -> 获取方法的参数类型列表 -> 返回值是一个 Class实例 组成的数组

    public static void printMethodsInfo(Object object) {

　　　　技巧02：Class类的getFields获取public修饰的成员变量，Class类的getDeclaredFields获取本类声明的所有成员

　　　　技巧03：Field类的相关方法

　　　　　　getType -> 获取属性类型 -> 返回值是一个Class实例

　　　　　　getName -> 获取属性名称 -> 返回值是一个String实例

    public static void printFieldInfo(Object object) {
        // 01 获取类类型
        Class c = object.getClass();

        }
    }

　　4.4 获取构造器信息

　　　　技巧01：所有的构造器都是Constructor的实例

　　　　技巧02：Class类的 getConstructors 获取本类和父类中有pulbic修饰的构造器，Class类的 getDeclaredConstructors 获取本类中声明的构造器

　　　　技巧03：Constructor类的相关方法

5 方法反射

 　　Method类的invoke方法可以执行一个实例的方法；

　　一个Class实例可以通过getMethod方法获取到单个的Method实例。

　　5.1 准备类

class Foo {

    public void print() {
        System.out.println("渝足");
    }

    public void print(Integer a, Integer b) {
        System.out.println(a + b);
    }

    public void print(String a, String b) {
        System.out.println(a.toUpperCase() + " , " + b.toLowerCase());
    }
}

　　5.2 获取Method实例并用其调用Foo实例的方法

　　　　》创建一个Foo实例

　　　　》Method实例

// 根据方法名和方法类型列表获取方法对象
Method method0 = c.getMethod("print", new Class[]{String.class, String.class});

　　　　》利用Method实例调用Foo实例的方法

            // 执行方法对象
            method0.invoke(foo, new String[]{"hello", "Fury"});

　　5.3 代码汇总

package demo06_reflect.case04_method;

import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class Method_Demo01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Foo foo = new Foo();
//        foo.print(1, 2);
//        foo.print("hello", "word");

        Class c = foo.getClass();
        try {
            // 根据方法名和方法类型列表获取方法对象
            Method method0 = c.getMethod("print", new Class[]{String.class, String.class});
            // 执行方法对象
            method0.invoke(foo, new String[]{"hello", "Fury"});
//            Method method = c.getMethod("print", String.class, String.class);
//            method.invoke(foo, "good", "boy");
            System.out.println("====================");

            Method method1 = c.getMethod("print", Integer.class, Integer.class);
            method1.invoke(foo, 3, 4);
            Method method2 = c.getMethod("print", new Class[]{Integer.class, Integer.class});
            method2.invoke(foo, new Integer[]{4, 4});
            System.out.println("====================");

//            Method method3 = c.getMethod("print");
//            method3.invoke(foo);
            Method method4 = c.getMethod("print", new Class[]{});
            method4.invoke(foo, new Object[]{});
            System.out.println("====================");


        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}

class Foo {

    public void print() {
        System.out.println("渝足");
    }

    public void print(Integer a, Integer b) {
        System.out.println(a + b);
    }

    public void print(String a, String b) {
        System.out.println(a.toUpperCase() + " , " + b.toLowerCase());
    }
}

　　5.4 方法反射的应用

　　　　列表的泛型其实是在编译阶段起作用的；所以在运行阶段可以利用方法反射去掉用List的add方法，从而绕过泛型的限制

package demo06_reflect.case04_method;

import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

/**
 * @author 王杨帅
 * @create 2018-08-06 9:33
 * @desc 方法反射的应用
 **/
public class Method_Demo02 {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       List list01 = new ArrayList();
       list01.add(333);
       list01.add("warrior");
       System.out.println(list01);

       List<String> list02 = new ArrayList<>();
       list02.add("warrior");
//       list02.add(333);
       System.out.println(list02);
       System.out.println("===============================");


       Class c01 = list01.getClass(); // 运行阶段执行
       Class c02 = list02.getClass();

       System.out.println(c01 == c02); // 说明列表的泛型只是作用于编译阶段
       System.out.println("===============================");

       Class c = list02.getClass();
       try {
           // 获取Method实例
           Method method = c.getMethod("add", Object.class);
           // 利用Method实例调用List的add方法
           method.invoke(list02, 333);
           System.out.println(list02);
       } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }
       System.out.println("===============================");

   }
}
