The linked article on JavaReport is a rather detailed explanation and example usage of Java and reflection and the limitations of reflection. Reflection can be used in Java to determine what objects, classes and methods are being used at runtime (wihtout knowing beforehand that is, and of course once you know you can manipulate.) I am no Java expert, and this article admittedly lost me on a few points, but it is interesting and I learned a few things too. Checkit via the link (and note the minor irony, "JavaReport" has article pages that are .asp, HAHAHA.)   Limitations of reflective method lookup
