Java: How to find if a method is overridden from base class? [duplicate]

Answer 1

private static boolean isMethodImplemented(Object obj, String name)
{
    try
    {
        Class clazz = obj.getClass();

        return clazz.getMethod(name).getDeclaringClass().equals(clazz);
    }
    catch (SecurityException e)
    {
        log.error("{}", e);
    }
    catch (NoSuchMethodException e)
    {
        log.error("{}", e);
    }

    return false;
}
