How do I call a Scala Object method using reflection?

Question

say, I have the following:

trait SomeTrait {
  def someMethod: String;
}

object SomeObject extends SomeTrait {
  def someMethod = \"something\";
}
         


        

Answer 1

def companion[T](name : String)(implicit man: Manifest[T]) : T = 
    Class.forName(name + "$").getField("MODULE$").get(man.erasure).asInstanceOf[T]

val result = companion[SomeTrait]("SomeObject").someMethod
