Class ClassUtil

public class ClassUtil

extends java.lang.Object

The purpose of the ClassUtil class is to provide utility operations for the management of class types. The lookup operation allows the the classes of primitives and array types to be retrieved in the same manners as normal java classes. The semantics of the lookup operation are similar to those of Class.forName().

class name	description
int	maps to Integer.TYPE
short	maps to Short.TYPE
byte	maps to Byte.TYPE
char	maps to Character.TYPE
long	maps to Long.TYPE
float	maps to Float.TYPE
double	maps to double.TYPE
boolean	maps to Boolean.TYPE
ClassName	Any fully qualified class name
'['+(ClassName|int|short|byte|char|long|float|double|boolean)	maps to the class of an array of any type, primitive or Class all array class names should begin with the '[' character and the number of consequetive '[' indicates the cardinality of the array
