getAllInterfacesOfType

public static java.lang.Class[] getAllInterfacesOfType(java.lang.Class cls,
                                                       java.lang.Class intface)

Get all the interfaces implemented by the passed in class which extend the specified interface. The interface passed in will not be in the returned list.

Parameters:

cls - the class to get interfaces for

intface - the interface to filter by. Only subinterfaces of this interface will be returned.

Returns:

A set containing interface Class objects
