    /**
     * Invokes the underlying method represented by this <code>Method</code> 
     * object, on the specified object with the specified parameters.
     * Individual parameters are automatically unwrapped to match
     * primitive formal parameters, and both primitive and reference
     * parameters are subject to widening conversions as
     * necessary. The value returned by the underlying method is
     * automatically wrapped in an object if it has a primitive type.
     *
     * <p>Method invocation proceeds with the following steps, in order:
     *
     * <p>If the underlying method is static, then the specified <code>obj</code> 
     * argument is ignored. It may be null.
     *
     * <p>Otherwise, the method is an instance method.  If the specified
     * object argument is null, the invocation throws a
     * <code>NullPointerException</code>.  Otherwise, if the specified object
     * argument is not an instance of the class or interface declaring
     * the underlying method (or of a subclass or implementor
     * thereof) the invocation throws an
     * <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>.
     *
     * <p>If this <code>Method</code> object enforces Java language access control and
     * the underlying method is inaccessible, the invocation throws an
     * <code>IllegalAccessException</code>.
     *
     * <p>If the number of actual parameters supplied via <code>args</code> is
     * different from the number of formal parameters required by the
     * underlying method, the invocation throws an
     * <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>.
     *
     * <p>For each actual parameter in the supplied <code>args</code> array:
     *
     * <p>If the corresponding formal parameter has a primitive type, an
     * unwrapping conversion is attempted to convert the object value
     * to a value of a primitive type.  If this attempt fails, the
     * invocation throws an <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>.
     *
     * <p>If, after possible unwrapping, the parameter value cannot be
     * converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a
     * method invocation conversion, the invocation throws an
     * <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>.
     *
     * <p>If the underlying method is an instance method, it is invoked
     * using dynamic method lookup as documented in The Java Language
     * Specification, section 15.11.4.4; in particular, overriding
     * based on the runtime type of the target object will occur.
     *
     * <p>If the underlying method is static, the class that declared
     * the method is initialized if it has not already been initialized.
     * The underlying method is invoked directly.
     *
     * <p>Control transfers to the invoked method.  If the method
     * completes abruptly by throwing an exception, the exception is
     * placed in an <code>InvocationTargetException</code> and thrown in turn to
     * the caller of invoke.
     *
     * <p>If the method completes normally, the value it returns is
     * returned to the caller of invoke; if the value has a primitive
     * type, it is first appropriately wrapped in an object. If the
     * underlying method return type is void, the invocation returns
     * null.
     *
     * @exception IllegalAccessException    if the underlying method
     *              is inaccessible.
     * @exception IllegalArgumentException  if the number of actual and formal
     *              parameters differ, or if an unwrapping conversion fails.
     * @exception InvocationTargetException if the underlying method
     *              throws an exception.
     * @exception NullPointerException      if the specified object is null
     *             and the method is an instance method.
     * @exception ExceptionInInitializerError if the initialization
     *             provoked by this method fails.
