Apache Commons Lang 3.0 is a java library with lot of utilities and reusable components. This requires the library commons-lang3-3.0.1.jar to be in classpath. The following example shows using MethodUtils.invokeStaticMethod() API.
package com.bethecoder.tutorials.commons_lang.tests.reflections; import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException; import org.apache.commons.lang3.reflect.MethodUtils; public class InvokeStaticMethodTest { /** * @param args */ public static void main(String[] args) throws NoSuchMethodException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException { Integer value = (Integer)MethodUtils.invokeStaticMethod( Integer.class, "parseInt", "123456"); System.out.println(value); Double d = (Double) MethodUtils.invokeStaticMethod( Double.class, "parseDouble", "123456.78"); System.out.println(d); } }
123456 123456.78
