Suppose that I have several classes in this style:
public class A {
public B element;
}
public class B {
public C anotherElement; // where C refers to another type which contains types D, E, F, etc.....
}
I want to iterate over all of the contained sub-classes (not inherited) and get a list of all fields in the nested object tree. However, when I use reflection code like this:
Field[] myFields = providedObject.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
for (Field myField : myFields) {
// do something here?? to access the sub-fields of the class
// if I print out myField.getName(), I get the element of class A, but I also want to access the anotherElement of class B (without hard-coding the name 'anotherElement', I want a full traversal of all nested fields)
}
At the 'do something here' step, I want to access the sub-fields of myField, but I don't see anything in the Field api that directly lets me do this. I've tried:
myField.getDeclaringClass().getDeclaredFields() -> this seems to return the same element that we already saw and not the sub-elements
and
myField.getClass().getDeclaredFields() -> this seems to return the fields of the 'Field' class and not my class A or B
So how would I access the nested fields from the reflection api?
Thanks.
