Hi,
Currently I am reading about the Reflection API in java.So I have one query regarding the use of Reflection APIs.
I read that reflection is meant for the "introspection" of a java beans.Is this the only use of Reflection?
If not,will you please enlist some of the practical use of the java Reflection API,other than getting the info about the class ie method,constructors etc.
Thanks

The important thing is not to stop questioning.Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Calling a method dynamically. This is useful in tooling, when you don't know the method signature at compile time.
