Method Detail

getDeclaringClass

Class<?> getDeclaringClass()

Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.

Returns:: an object representing the declaring class of the underlying member

getName

String getName()

Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.

Returns:: the simple name of the underlying member
