The information encapsulated by MethodWrapper is sometimes insufficient because a method's argument may be sub-classes/impl-classes of a class/interface. For example:

void myMethod(ArrayList list);
void myMethod(List list);

In this situation, the wrong method may get invoked.

To address this issue, a MethodWrapper can now be created using:

public MethodWrapper(Method method, Object[] arguments);

Creating a MethodWrapper in this fashion allows a MethodInvoker class to use

public String[] getArgumentClassNames()

to retrieve an array of method's arguments classes.
