Method Detail

getFieldType

public static Type getFieldType(Class<?> containingClass,
                                String fieldName)

Returns generic type for a field in a Thrift class. The type is the return type for the accessor method for the field (e.g. isFieldName() for a boolean type or getFieldName for other types). The return type works for both structs and unions. Reflecting directly based on fields does not work for unions.

Returns:

generic Type of the thrift field.
