got private variables :(

[Chiranjeevi Kanthraj]

Hi all

By using reflection API we can access the private variable except inherited members.

then how can we protect the private member from the reflection API also.

Hi! Have a look at Sun's Security Guide (the last four bullets of 'General Security') and google for 'Security Manager' and 'security policy file'.

Use Class.getSuperclass() in combination with Class.getDeclaredFields(), and loop until you've reached the end:

Class<?> cls = baseClass;
while (cls != null)
{
    Field[] fields = cls.getDeclaredFields();
    ...
    cls = cls.getSuperclass();
}

More difficult a question than we expect on "beginners." Moving.
