Determining if a method overrides another at runtime

问题

I was wondering if there was any way to determine if a method represented by given java.lang.Method object overrides another methods represented by another java.lang.Method object?

I'm working on Stronlgy typed javascript, and I need to be able to be able to know if a method overrides another one in order to be able to rename both of them to a shorter name.

In this case, I am talking about the extended definition of overriding, as supported by the @Override annotation, which includes implementation of interface and abstract class methods.

I'd be happy with any solution involving either reflection directly, or using any library that already does this.

You can simply cross-check method names and signatures.

public static boolean isOverriden(Method parent, Method toCheck) {
    if (parent.getDeclaringClass().isAssignableFrom(toCheck.getDeclaringClass())
            && parent.getName().equals(toCheck.getName())) {
         Class<?>[] params1 = parent.getParameterTypes();
         Class<?>[] params2 = toCheck.getParameterTypes();
         if (params1.length == params2.length) {
             for (int i = 0; i < params1.length; i++) {
                 if (!params1[i].equals(params2[i])) {
                     return false;
                 }
             }
             return true;
         }
    }
    return false;
}

However, since your goal is to rename methods, you might instead wish to use a bytecode analysis/manipulation library such as ASM, where you can perform the same tests as well as easily modify the methods' names if the method returns true.
