getHandler

public static Handler getHandler(Object obj,
                                 String fieldName,
                                 Class valueClass)

This function assumes that each function name is only associated with a single data type. Although it may be possible to switch types, but we won't be able to utilize cache in that case, making it rather slow to find function each and every time.

Parameters:

obj - the object we are dealing with. we are actually only interested in its class type.

fieldName - the field to be located in the class.

valueClass - the class type of the value, can be null to skip check.

Returns:

the handler which can be used to deal with the element.
