Title
Body
I need to get the value of a field using reflection. It so happens that I am not always sure what the datatype of the field is. For that, and to avoid some code duplication I have created the following method: @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") private static <T> T getValueByReflection(VarInfo var, Class<?> classUnderTest, Object runtimeInstance) throws Throwable { Field f = classUnderTest.getDeclaredField(processFieldName(var)); f.setAccessible(true); T value = (T) f.get(runtimeInstance); return value; } And use this method like: Long value1 = getValueByReflection(inv.var1(), classUnderTest, runtimeInstance); or Double[] value2 = getValueByReflection(inv.var2(), classUnderTest, runtimeInstance); The problem is that I can't seem to cast Integer to Long : java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to java.lang.Long Is there a better way to achieve this? I am using Java 1.6.
