Ok, I wasn't clear... let me re-write my mail:
The problem is that I want to test if an object is subclass of a
java.lang.Class INSTANCE... Nonsense example:
java.util.Date date1 = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date date2 = new java.sql.Date();
Class clasz = date1.getClass();
if (date2 instanceof clasz)
{
do something...
}
There is a way? The code that made me need to test if an object is subclass
of another one's is quite hard to explain briefly :-)
I implemented the following, but I'm not very proud of myself:
private boolean instanceOf(Object obj, Class clasz)
{
if (obj == null || clasz == null) return false;
Class objClass = obj.getClass();
Class[] classes = objClass.getClasses();
if (classes == null) return false;
for (int i = 0; i<classes.length; i++)
{
if (classes[i].equals(clasz)) return true;
}
while (objClass != null)
{
if (objClass.equals(clasz)) return true;
objClass = objClass.getSuperclass();
}
return false;
}
