The syntax * for accessing fields and methods is out of the ordinary because this class uses reflection to peel away protection. *

* a.k.a. The "ObjectMolester" *

* Here is an example of using this to access a private member:
* Given the following class MyClass:
* *

 * public class MyClass {
 *    private String name; // private attribute
 * 
 *    // private constructor
 *    private MyClass() {
 *       super();
 *    }
 * 
 *    // private method
 *    private void setName(String newName) {
 *       this.name = newName;
 *    }
 * }
 * 
* * We now want to access the class:
* *
 * MyClass myObj = PA.instantiate(MyClass.class);
 * PA.invokeMethod(myObj, "setName(java.lang.String)", "myNewName");
 * String name = PA.getValue(myObj, "name");
 *
