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

Hope this is something what you are trying to do    import java lang reflect Field  import java util HashMap  import java util Map  import java util concurrent ConcurrentHashMap   public class Test        private Map ttp   new HashMap          public  void test             Field declaredField    null          try                declaredField   Test class getDeclaredField  ttp                boolean accessible   declaredField isAccessible                 declaredField setAccessible true                ConcurrentHashMap lt Object  Object gt  concHashMap   new ConcurrentHashMap lt Object  Object gt                 concHashMap put  key1    value1                declaredField set this  concHashMap               Object value   ttp get  key1                 System out println value                declaredField setAccessible accessible              catch  NoSuchFieldException                    SecurityException                   IllegalArgumentException                    IllegalAccessException e                e printStackTrace                          public static void main String    args            Test test   new Test            test test               It prints    value1

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
