Reflector Facility

The Reflector Facility (hereafter Reflector) is a troubleshooting tool for the developer. By loading/installing the Reflector facility it is possible to navigate the entire application, through the getter methods, e.g.

public SomeType getSomeMember()

. It is also possible to set values through setter methods, e.g.

public void setSomeMember( SomeType value );

In fact, it is even possible to instantiate new java objects and assign them, but this should be done with extreme care.

Components

The Reflector consists of a fair number of components. It is also designed so that additional special-case types can have their own type handlers, just like special treatment is given to Collection, Map, Dictionary, arrays and ComponentModel instances.

You can read more about each component here.

Blocks

Two blocks has been prepared for instant use. The Standard block does not include the Http server in the Http facility, but the Complete block does. You should use the Standard block if you have an Http Facility running for other purposes.
