public class ObjectStreamFieldDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a new object stream class for Integers
      ObjectStreamClass osc = ObjectStreamClass.lookup(Integer.class);

      // get the field value from Integer class
      ObjectStreamField field = osc.getField("value");

      // check if field is primitive
      System.out.println("" + field.isPrimitive());

      // create a new object stream class for calendar
      ObjectStreamClass osc2 = ObjectStreamClass.lookup(Calendar.class);

      // get the field value from Integer class
      ObjectStreamField field2 = osc2.getField("isSet");

      // check if field is primitive
      System.out.println("" + field2.isPrimitive());
   }
