Given an input interface "aClass", ClassMaker will return an instance of that interface. The methods of the interface will return values as specifed by the getterMap.
For example, given an interface "IPerson":
interface IPerson { String getName(); Integer getAge(); } Use the following to create an instance of IPerson that returns "Ali" for name and 32 for age:
Map getterMap = new HashMap(); getterMap.put("name", "Ali"); getterMap.put("age", new Integer(32)); ClassMaker maker = new ClassMaker(); IPerson instance = (IPerson)maker.makeInstance(IPerson.class, getterMap);
The getterMap should provide a return value for all "get...()" and "is...()" methods from the interface. If an attempt is make to read a value from an interface method for which the getterMap does not specify a value, an Exception will be thrown.
