Alpha of a object in a reflection is very tricky. Actually, besides writing a custom renderman shader, I don't know of any way to do it in any rendering engine... There may be some scripts out there, or some special freebie plugins...

i could get the opacity of shadows, but not the reflections

and im not using the obejct parameters to achieve that. im using the material parameters instead like this:
