    9 The core API is based on Java reflection. Some operators come in two flavors: a concise one that leaves some things to be computed by ABCL at runtime, and a more efficient and verbose one, which is mostly a direct translation of the Java reflection API.
     9The core API is based on Java reflection. Some operators come in two flavors: a concise one that leaves some things to be computed by ABCL at runtime, and a more efficient and verbose one, which is mostly a direct translation of the Java reflection API. All the operators that pass arguments to Java code can receive arbitrary Lisp objects, that will be automatically translated to appropriate Java objects when applicable (technically, by calling javaInstance() on them). For example, Lisp strings are translated to instances of java.lang.String.

    1111=== Definitions ===
    … …  
    1313  * ''Java class designator'': either a string denoting the fully qualified name of a Java class, such as "java.lang.String", or a Java class metaobject, that is, an instance of java.lang.Class, for example as returned by the function `jclass`.
    1414  * ''Java method designator'': in the context of Java method invocations, either a Java method metaobject (an instance of java.lang.reflect.Method), or a string representing the name of the method, for example "toString".
     15  * ''Java constructor designator'': in the context of Java object instantiations, either a Java constructor metaobject, or a Java class designator.

    53 '''Arguments and Values:'''
    54 
    55 `name-or-class-ref` -- a Java class designator (see [#Definitions Definitions]).
    56 
    57 `class-loader` -- the classloader to use to resolve the class. Refer to the section Class resolution and loading.
    58 
    59 '''Description:'''
    60 
    61 Returns a reference to the Java class designated by `name-or-class-ref`. If the `class-loader` parameter is passed, the class is resolved with respect to the given ClassLoader.

     88

     90
     91'''Description:'''
     92
     93Returns a new Java object created calling the specified constructor with the specified arguments. If `constructor` is a Java constructor metaobject, it will be called directly. If it is a Java class designator, the most specific constructor with respect to `args` will be searched in that class.
