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"); is case sensitive, it will throw an NoSuchFieldException if I for example use Object.getClass().getDeclaredField("MyField");

Is there any way around it? forcing it to ignore case?

Thanks

Answer 1

Just use Class.getDeclaredFields() and look through the results performing a case-insensitive match yourself.

Answer 2

No, there's no such way. You can get all fields and search through them:

Field[] fields = src.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
for(Field f:fields){
    if(f.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("myfield")){
    //stuff.
    }
}
