java.lang.Object
- jakarta.el.MethodReference

```
public class MethodReference
extends java.lang.Object
```
Provides information about the method to which a method expression resolves. Two MethodReference instances are considered equal if the reference the same method on the same base object.

  - getBase
```
public java.lang.Object getBase()
```
    Obtain the base object on which the method will be invoked.
    
    Returns:
    
    The base object on which the method will be invoked or null for literal method expressions.
  - getMethodInfo
```
public MethodInfo getMethodInfo()
```
    Obtain the MethodInfo for the MethodExpression for which this MethodReference has been generated.
    
    Returns:
    
    The MethodInfo for the MethodExpression for which this MethodReference has been generated.
  - getAnnotations
```
public java.lang.annotation.Annotation[] getAnnotations()
```
    Obtain the annotations on the method to which the associated expression resolves.
    
    Returns:
    
    The annotations on the method to which the associated expression resolves. If the are no annotations, then an empty array is returned.
  - getEvaluatedParameters
```
public java.lang.Object[] getEvaluatedParameters()
```
    Obtain the evaluated parameter values that will be passed to the method to which the associated expression resolves.
    
    Returns:
    
    The evaluated parameters.
