The Mirror

The Mirror is the main class that allows for reflecting types.

Java

Mirror mirror = Mirror.builder().build();

Kotlin

val mirror = Mirror.builder().build()

Groovy

def mirror = Mirror.builder().build()

You can specify whether to enable/disable TypeDefinition caching via the Mirror.Builder#cache method. By default this is true.

Java

Mirror mirror = Mirror.builder()
        .cache(false)
        .build();

Kotlin

var mirror = Mirror.builder()
        .cache(false)
        .build()

Groovy

def mirror = Mirror.builder()
        .cache(false)
        .build()

If you would like to specify a class loader for proxies you can do so:

Java

Mirror mirror = Mirror.builder()
        .classLoader(Object.class.getClassLoader())
        .build();

Kotlin

val mirror = Mirror.builder()
        .classLoader(Test::class.java.classLoader)
        .build()

Groovy

def mirror = Mirror.builder()
        .classLoader(Test.class.classLoader)
        .build()
