Description

Invoker.asArray() does not do the right thing when converting input args into compatible args for Constructor.newInstance().

Specifically, when calling a constructor with one argument of type String[], asArray() does not wrap the input arguments in a new Object[], which results in passing the input String[] to the constructor, which then throws an IllegalArumentException, as it expected something like: new Object[]

{ stringArray }

My guess is that this problem occurs for all constructors which take a single argument, whoes value passes an instanceof Object[] test.

I tested that hacking up Invoker.asArray with:

if (arguments instanceof String[]) {
return new Object[]

{ arguments }

;
}

did the right thing.
