Invoke method with an array parameter using reflection

Question

I am attempting to write a method the executes a static method from another class by passing an array of strings as arguments to the method.

Here\'s what I have:

Answer 1

You have two problems:

1. The target parameter type is String[], but you're passing in a Object[]
2. You're passing in the whole command array as arguments, which includes the method name

The problems are all in the inner try block, so I show only that code.

String[] args = Arrays.copyOfRange(command, 1, command.length - 1);
method.invoke(null, new Object[]{args}); // must prevent expansion into varargs

Thanks to Perception for reminding me of the varargs issue
