You should not be iterating through all of the methods. Simply request the correct method with [.getMethod(java.lang.String,java.lang.Class...)](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Class.html#getMethod(java.lang.String,java.lang.Class...)). It takes the string name of the method and additional parameters matching the data types of the desired overload. Get the `type()` of an empty `jarray` of bytes to get `byte[]` to supply to the function.
