There doesn't seem to be direct help. Perhaps you could do this, or find a
utility method somewhere that does it for you:
Method method = null;
Class cls = this.getClass();
while (method == null && cls != null) {
method = cls.getMethod(methodName, args);
cls = cls.getSuperClass();
}
Please post the answer if you find a good one.
