Forman N. Java Reflection in Action

Intended for intermediate Java programmers, this book presents several ways to produce flexible code using reflection. The authors, who have taught a software patterns course at the University of Texas, discuss dynamic loading, dynamic proxies, class stack introspection, the class loader, class-to-class transformations, and performance measurement techniques. Example code for an imaginary animal simulation software company runs throughout the book. Distributed in the U.S. by Independent Publishers Group.
