David,
How can I get a list of the public fields declared in a class, *in the
order they are declared*? Using Reflection's getFields and
getDeclaredFields methods returns them in no particular order, and I
need them in the order they are declared so I can get their starting
byte offsets.
Since you mentioned byte offsets, I have to ask: are you trying to
subvert the serialization system? Or, even worse, inspect the object
memory from with JNI?
The latter, sort of. I'm using a package which puts a wrapper around
JNI to make it easier to create windows standard .dll's from java
classes, and passing them structures from Visual Basic and other
external apps. To modify return parameters, I need the byte offsets of
the various pieces of the structure, which I'm mirroring in my java classes.
I would guess that if you can't get the proper order of the fields from
Class.getDeclaredFields, then you can't get it at all.
That's what I'm afraid of. I know how I can work around this, but it's
a lot more typing when setting up the class fields.
Thanks for the response!
