Description

Due to a bug into the JDK reflection API, no public classes can be difficult to
invoke by reflecting. See the related bug:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4071957

The workaround consists to find the right Method declaration into the interfaces
and superclasses.

A ClassUtils.getPublicMethod(Class cls, String methodName, Class
parameterTypes[]) can provide this small search.
