Method Detail
getParameterNames
@Nullable String[] getParameterNames(Method method)
Return parameter names for a method, ornull
if they cannot be determined.Individual entries in the array may be
null
if parameter names are only available for some parameters of the given method but not for others. However, it is recommended to use stub parameter names instead wherever feasible.- Parameters:
method
- the method to find parameter names for- Returns:
- an array of parameter names if the names can be resolved, or
null
if they cannot
