So you have to do
method = panel.getClass().getMethod("add", Component.class);
Thanks, Aeris.
However, this was just an example. The actual code is generic, so I
can't pass a specific class. I have to call getClass() on the object,
right?
And, according to the references, getMethod() searches the class and
superclasses for a matching method. This seems not to work here.
This could still be made to work, even for the generic case. Can you tell
us more about the context? There's a short cut if you are using the Proxy
class, otherwise you'll have to go about it the longer way.
To begin with, why is the OP using reflection at all? It's of no value in
the code actually posted, which could simply call method the normal way.
It's fairly uncommon for reflection to be needed, and it may be that the
best solution to the problem (whatever that turns out to be) won't require
it.
