Java Reflection, Ignore case when using GetDeclaredField

Question

Let\'s say I have a class with a string field named \"myfield\", and use reflection to get the field, I\'ve found that Object.getClass().getDeclaredField(\"myfield\");

Answer 1

Best to try to get field with fieldName if does not exist then loop through list of fields

public static Field findFieldIgnoreCase(Class clazz, String fieldName) throws SecurityException, NoSuchFieldException {
    try {
        return clazz.getDeclaredField(fieldName);
    } catch (NoSuchFieldException e) {
        Field[] fields = clazz.getDeclaredFields();
        for (Field field : fields) {
            if (field.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(fieldName)) {
                return field;
            }
        }
        throw new NoSuchFieldException(fieldName);
    }
}
