another Permissions question

[carpeliam]

I'm getting closer and closer...<br><br>It won't find my methods when they're private, but <FONT FACE=monospace>getDeclaredMethod()</font> is supposed to do that... anybody have any clues as to where I can go from here?<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SecurityManager sm = new SecurityManager();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sm.checkPermission(new ReflectPermission(&quot;suppressAccessChecks&quot);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sm.checkPermission(new RuntimePermission(&quot;accessDeclaredMembers&quot);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;System.setSecurityManager(sm);<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// grant access to get/set methods<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Class c = o.getClass().getMethod(&quot;get&quot;+key, null).getReturnType();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Class[] parameterFiller={c};<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Method mSet = propMethod(o.getClass(), key, parameterFiller);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mSet.setAccessible(true);</font><br><br>=======================================================================<FONT FACE=monospace><br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;private static Method propMethod (Class c, String key, Class[] parameterFiller) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;try {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return c.getDeclaredMethod(&quot;set&quot;+key, parameterFiller);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return propMethod (c.getSuperclass(), key, parameterFiller);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}</font><br><br><br>=======================================================================<br><br>if anybody can help me go from here... propMethod will never find the right method, even though I know it exists. If there's any code here you don't understand, just let me know, I'll explain... I'm in a rush at the moment, sorry.<br><br>Thanks all...<br> <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

Nevermind, my problem was that a particular class's &quot;setSerialNumber()&quot; method forgot to include the parameter... so when it said &quot;this.serialNumber = serialNumber&quot;, it wasn't setting with a new serial #, it was just copying the same old value to the new one.<br><br>So... I now know how to get and set private variables using the Java 1.2 Reflect API. woohoo! That was only a few weeks of searching. I'm rather happy at the moment. And if anybody wants me to write a FAQ with my findings (if you think that kind of thing would be useful to you in your own coding), I could do that. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=
