codeql/java-all 0.4.5 (changelog, source)

Module Reflection

Provides classes and predicates for working with Java Reflection.

Import path

import semmle.code.java.Reflection

Imports

DefUse	Provides classes and predicates for def-use and use-use pairs. Built on top of the SSA library for maximal precision.
JDKAnnotations	Provides classes that represent standard annotations from the JDK.
Serializability	Provides classes and predicates for working with Java Serialization.
java	Provides all default Java QL imports.

Predicates

inferClassParameterType	Given an expression whose type is `Class<T>`, infer a possible set of types for `T`.
referencedInXmlFile	Holds if a field’s name and declaring type are referenced in an XML file. Usually, this implies that the field may be accessed reflectively.
reflectivelyRead	Holds if `f` is a field that may be read by reflection.
reflectivelyWritten	Holds if `f` is a field that may be written by reflection.

Classes

ClassMethodAccess	A `MethodAccess` on a `Class` element.
NewInstance	A call to `Class.newInstance()` or `Constructor.newInstance()`.
ReflectiveAnnotationAccess	A call to `Class.getAnnotation(..)`.
ReflectiveClassIdentifierMethodAccess	A call to a Java standard library method which constructs or returns a `Class<T>` from a `String`.
ReflectiveConstructorsAccess	A call to `Class.getConstructors(..)` or `Class.getDeclaredConstructors(..)`.
ReflectiveFieldAccess	A call to `Class.getField(..)` that accesses a field.
ReflectiveMethodAccess	A call to `Class.getMethod(..)` or `Class.getDeclaredMethod(..)`.
ReflectiveMethodsAccess	A call to `Class.getMethods(..)` or `Class.getDeclaredMethods(..)`.
