public class ReflectionTestUtils extends Object
ReflectionTestUtils is a collection of reflection-based utility
methods for use in unit and integration testing scenarios.
There are often times when it would be beneficial to be able to set a
non-public field, invoke a non-public setter method, or
invoke a non-public configuration or lifecycle
callback method when testing code involving, for example:
private or protected field access as opposed to
public setter methods for properties in a domain entity.@Autowired,
@Inject, and
@Resource which provides dependency
injection for private or protected fields, setter methods,
and configuration methods.@PostConstruct
and @PreDestroy for lifecycle callback
methods.In addition, several methods in this class provide support for static
fields — for example, setField(Class, String, Object),
getField(Class, String), etc.

This method traverses the class hierarchy in search of the desired
field. In addition, an attempt will be made to make non-public
fields accessible, thus allowing one to set protected,
private, and package-private fields.

In addition, this method supports JavaBean-style property
names. For example, if you wish to set the name property on the
target object, you may pass either "name" or
"setName" as the method name.
