Java Reflection, Ignore case when using GetDeclaredField

Question

Let\'s say I have a class with a string field named \"myfield\", and use reflection to get the field, I\'ve found that Object.getClass().getDeclaredField(\"myfield\");

Answer 1

No, there is no direct way of doing this, however you could create a helper method for doing this. e.g. (untested)

public Field getDeclaredFieldIngoreCase( Class clazz, String fieldName ) throws NoSuchFieldException {

        for( Field field : clazz.getDeclaredFields() ) {
            if ( field.getName().equalsIgnoreCase( fieldName ) ) {
                return field;
            }
        }
        throw new NoSuchFieldException( fieldName );
}
