How to use getMethod() with primitive types?

Question

This is the class:

class Foo {   public void bar(int a, Object b) {   } } 

Now I'm trying to get "reflect" this method from the class:

Class c = Foo.class; Class[] types = { ... }; // what should be here? Method m = c.getMethod("bar", types); 

Answer 1

There's just an int.class.

Class[] types = { int.class, Object.class }; 

An alternative is Integer.TYPE.

Class[] types = { Integer.TYPE, Object.class }; 

The same applies on other primitives.

Answer 2

The parameter of the method is a primitive short not an Object Short.

Reflection will not find the method because you specified an object short. The parameters in getMethod() have to match exactly.

EDIT: The question was changed. Initially, the question was to find a method that takes a single primitive short.
