Method Detail

areTypesCompatible

public static boolean areTypesCompatible(java.lang.Class[] targets,
                                         java.lang.Class[] sources)

Returns true if all classes in the sources list are assignment compatible with the targets list. In other words, if all targets[n].isAssignableFrom( sources[n] ) then this method returns true. Any null values in sources are considered wild-cards and will skip the isAssignableFrom check as if it passed.

translateFromPrimitive

public static java.lang.Class translateFromPrimitive(java.lang.Class primitive)

If this specified class represents a primitive type (int, float, etc.) then it is translated into its wrapper type (Integer, Float, etc.). If the passed class is not a primitive then it is just returned.
