This class is the superclass of the
Method, Constructor, and
Field classes; its methods provide a mechanism for
trusted applications to work with private,
protected, and default visibility members that
would otherwise not be accessible through the Reflection API. This
class is new as of Java 1.2; in Java 1.1, the
Method, Constructor, and
Field classes extended Object
directly.
To use the
java.lang.reflect package to access a member to
which your code would not normally have access, pass
TRue to the setAccessible( )
method. If your code has an appropriate
ReflectPermission (such as
"suppressAccessChecks"), this
allows access to the member as if it were declared
public. The static version of
setAccessible( ) is a convenience method that sets
the accessible flag for an array of members but performs only a
single security check.

// Protected Constructors
protected AccessibleObject( );
