Repro:
FieldUtils.getField(cls, "CONSTANT")whereclsimplements an interface that extends the interface actually declaringCONSTANT(or a diamond where two implemented interfaces share a common super-interface).Cause:
ClassUtils.getAllInterfacesalso returns the transitively inherited interfaces, soclass1.getField(fieldName)resolves the sameFieldmore than once; the loop rejects onmatch == nullalone and raises a falseIllegalArgumentExceptionabout the field being ambiguous across two or more interfaces.Fix: only reject when the newly found field differs (
match == null || match.equals(test)).Field.equalscompares declaring class, name and type, so the identical inherited field dedupes while two different fields on unrelated interfaces still throw.
