public static void addClasses(java.lang.String pkgName,
                              java.lang.String regex,
                              java.lang.Class<?> T)

Searches for subclasses of T within a specified package and adds them to this table, using their simple names as aliases.

public static void addEntry(java.lang.String alias,
                            java.lang.Class<?> cls)

getClass

getAlias

public static java.lang.String getAlias(java.lang.Class<?> cls)

getAliasOrName

public static java.lang.String getAliasOrName(java.lang.Class<?> cls)

resolveClass

public static java.lang.Class<?> resolveClass(java.lang.String nameOrAlias)

Try to find the class associated with a specified name or alias. The input string is first checked to see if it corresponds to a class alias or a valid class name. If not, the method attempts to find a valid class name by appending the input string to a list of predefined package names. If a valid class is found by any of these means the associated class is returned.

Parameters:

nameOrAlias - string used to identity class

Returns:

valid class, or null if no class was found
