It s worth reading Oracle Java Tutorial - Getting and Setting Field Values  Field set Object object  Object value  sets the field represented by this Field object on the specified object argument to the specified new value   It should be like this  f set objectOfTheClass  new ConcurrentHashMap lt  gt        You can t set any value in null Object If tried then it will result in NullPointerException    Note  Setting a field s value via reflection has a certain amount of performance overhead because various operations must occur such as validating access permissions  From the runtime s point of view  the effects are the same  and the operation is as atomic as if the value was changed in the class code directly

You can try this   static class Student       private int age      private int number       public Student int age  int number            this age   age          this number   number             public Student             public static void main String   args  throws IllegalAccessException  NoSuchFieldException       Student student1 new Student          Class g student1 getClass        Field  fields student1 getClass   getDeclaredFields        Field age student1 getClass   getDeclaredField  age        age setAccessible true       age setInt student1 13       Field number student1 getClass   getDeclaredField  number        number setAccessible true       number setInt student1 936        for  Field f fields                      f setAccessible true            System out println f getName       f getInt student1

The method below sets a field on your object even if the field is in a superclass         Sets a field value on a given object        param targetObject the object to set the field value on     param fieldName    exact name of the field     param fieldValue   value to set on the field     return true if the value was successfully set  false otherwise     public static boolean setField Object targetObject  String fieldName  Object fieldValue        Field field      try           field   targetObject getClass   getDeclaredField fieldName         catch  NoSuchFieldException e            field   null            Class superClass   targetObject getClass   getSuperclass        while  field    null  amp  amp  superClass    null            try               field   superClass getDeclaredField fieldName             catch  NoSuchFieldException e                superClass   superClass getSuperclass                        if  field    null            return false            field setAccessible true       try           field set targetObject  fieldValue           return true        catch  IllegalAccessException e            return false
