Attributes

Remarks

Produces a method handle giving read access to a reflected field. The type of the method handle will have a return type of the field's value type. If the field is static, the method handle will take no arguments. Otherwise, its single argument will be the instance containing the field. If the field's accessible flag is not set, access checking is performed immediately on behalf of the lookup class.

If the field is static, and if the returned method handle is invoked, the field's class will be initialized, if it has not already been initialized.
