29 * This basic function of this class is to return a Method
30 * object for a particular class given the name of a method
31 * and the parameters to the method in the form of an Object[]
32 *
33 * The first time the Introspector sees a
34 * class it creates a class method map for the
35 * class in question. Basically the class method map
36 * is a Hastable where Method objects are keyed by a
37 * concatenation of the method name and the names of
38 * classes that make up the parameters.
39 *
40 * For example, a method with the following signature:
41 *
42 * public void method(String a, StringBuffer b)
43 *
44 * would be mapped by the key:
45 *
46 * "method" + "java.lang.String" + "java.lang.StringBuffer"
47 *
48 * This mapping is performed for all the methods in a class
49 * and stored for
