public class MethodInvoker extends Object
Usage: Specify "targetClass"/"targetMethod" or "targetObject"/"targetMethod", optionally specify arguments, prepare the invoker. Afterwards, you may invoke the method any number of times, obtaining the invocation result.

public static int getTypeDifferenceWeight(Class<?>[] paramTypes, Object[] args)
Determines a weight that represents the class hierarchy difference between types and arguments. A direct match, i.e. type Integer -> arg of class Integer, does not increase the result - all direct matches means weight 0. A match between type Object and arg of class Integer would increase the weight by 2, due to the superclass 2 steps up in the hierarchy (i.e. Object) being the last one that still matches the required type Object. Type Number and class Integer would increase the weight by 1 accordingly, due to the superclass 1 step up the hierarchy (i.e. Number) still matching the required type Number. Therefore, with an arg of type Integer, a constructor (Integer) would be preferred to a constructor (Number) which would in turn be preferred to a constructor (Object). All argument weights get accumulated.
Note: This is the algorithm used by MethodInvoker itself and also the algorithm used for constructor and factory method selection in Spring's bean container (in case of lenient constructor resolution which is the default for regular bean definitions).
paramTypes
- the parameter types to matchargs
- the arguments to match
