public class MethodInvoker
extends java.lang.Object
Method object from the Java Reflection API and provides
methods to invoke the method without having to handle checked exceptions.
This class delegates methods to the underlying Method object,
but wraps checked exceptions in RuntimeException to avoid having to
handle them. All ReflectiveOperationException instances are caught
and rethrown as RuntimeException. Other runtime exceptions are not
caught and will be thrown as normal.

throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Method object, on the specified object with the specified parameters. Individual parameters are automatically unwrapped to match primitive
formal parameters, and both primitive and reference parameters are subject to method invocation conversions as necessary.
If the underlying method is static, then the specified obj
argument is ignored. It may be null.
If the number of formal parameters required by the underlying method is
0, the supplied args array may be of length 0 or null.
If the underlying method is an instance method, it is invoked using dynamic method lookup as documented in The Java Language Specification, Second Edition, section 15.12.4.4; in particular, overriding based on the runtime type of the target object will occur.
If the underlying method is static, the class that declared the method is initialized if it has not already been initialized.
If the method completes normally, the value it returns is returned to the caller of invoke; if the value has a primitive type, it is first appropriately wrapped in an object. However, if the value has the type of an array of a primitive type, the elements of the array are not wrapped in objects; in other words, an array of primitive type is returned. If the underlying method return type is void, the invocation returns null.
