    field = new CtField seems to do nothing

    dominik_fhg

      Hi,

      i just started with javassist and did some research for myself. I generated a CtClass, added some field, methods and constructors, wrote it to a file and loaded it.

      While i`m not able to view the code i use java.reflect to get some information about my class.

      So heres the Problem:

      Generated a field:

      ...
      field = new CtField(CtClass.intType,"y",cc);
      cc.addField(field);
      ...
      
      


      Then with reflect:

      ...
      Field[] fields = clazz2.getFields();
       System.out.println(fields.length);
      ...(Where clazz2 is the loaded CtClass cc)
      


      The Output said: 0. This was a little bit confusing while i just added the field, so i thought.

      Then my next approch:

      Also created a field:

      field = CtField.make("public int z;",cc);
      cc.addField(field);
      


      And now the .lengt Output said: 1.




      So whats wrong does either java.reflect not work or javassist.

      With Regards
