[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss Microcontainer Development] - Adding vargargs parameters to getXXXDeclaredXXX methods at J

[flavia.rainone@jboss.com]

This post is related to issue JBREFLECT-53.

As result of implementing JBREFLECT-53, I noticed that MutableClassInfo now has two similar getDeclaredMethod methods:

  | MutableMethodInfo getDeclaredMethod(String name, TypeInfo... parameters);
  | MutableMethodInfo getDeclaredMethod(String name, String... parameters)
  | 

Now, if I try to call getDeclaredMethod with one parameter like the piece of code below:
MutableClassInfo mci = ....
  | mci.getDeclaredMethod("bar");
I get the error:
The method getDeclaredMethod(String, TypeInfo[]) is ambiguous for the type MutableClassInfo

So, this forces us to use getDeclaredMethod with a minimum of two parameters, taking away some of the advantage of having a signature with vargars:
mci.getDeclaredMethod("bar", new TypeInfo[0]);

Would it be all right if I added a third method to MutableClassInfo (see below), so I can get rid of the problem?
MutableMethodInfo getDeclaredMethod(String name)

My main concern is whether there could be other classes outside of JBoss Reflection project implementing MutableClassInfo interface.
