public class IntrospectorBase extends java.lang.Object
The first time the Introspector sees a class it creates a class method map for the class in question. Basically the class method map is a Hastable where Method objects are keyed by a concatenation of the method name and the names of classes that make up the parameters. For example, a method with the following signature: public void method(String a, StringBuffer b) would be mapped by the key: "method" + "java.lang.String" + "java.lang.StringBuffer" This mapping is performed for all the methods in a class and stored.
