All Implemented Interfaces:

BenchTask

public class ReflectionTask

extends SimpleTask

Class to test reflection speed. Currently only three types of test are supported: "normal" (no reflection), "invoke" (find the method beforehand, just invoke it within the loop), and "full" (find the method within the loop, once per invocation (ie twice per time round the loop)).

The arguments passed to Class.getMethod and Method.invoke are only created once in the reflection tests, to discover the overhead of just the reflection invocation itself - a fuller test may wish to go through the "pain" of creating these each time for a more realistic test of more usual application use.

The method invoked uses boxing/unboxing (int<->Integer) but has no return value - obviously these factors may also change the speed.

Method Detail

setType

public void setType(java.lang.String type)

Sets the type of test

runTest

public void runTest()
             throws TaskException

Description copied from interface: BenchTask

Runs a test. This is the method which is timed for result purposes. This should not include any preparation or result checking unless the time reported deliberately requires it.

                        throws ConfigurationException

Description copied from class: SimpleTask

Checks that we have a positive size
