Title: A practical "how to" manual for applying reflection
Product review: Java Reflection In Action by the collaborative team of Ira and Nate Forman is a practical "how to" manual for applying reflection to computer programming. Reflection is the ability of a running program to look at itself and its environment, and change what it does according to what it sees. It is an inbuilt feature of the Java language and allows one to sidestep a common source of maintenance woes. Java Reflection In Action walks the programmer through a complete understanding of reflection and some of the most useful reflective solutions to replace "hard-coded" ones. An excellent self-teaching resource for intermediate to advanced students and practitioners of Java programming, Java Reflection In Action is packed from cover to cover with examples, flowcharts, sample code, and more, all effectively designed to facilitate instruction.
