Class PropertyUtilsBean

java.lang.Object
  extended by nl.knowledgeplaza.util.reflection.PropertyUtilsBean

public class PropertyUtilsBean
extends java.lang.Object

A MappedPropertyDescriptor describes one mapped property. Mapped properties are multivalued properties like indexed properties but that are accessed with a String key instead of an index. Such property values are typically stored in a Map collection. For this class to work properly, a mapped value must have getter and setter methods of the form

getProperty(String key) and

set<Property>(String key, Object value),

where Property must be replaced by the name of the property.

Method Detail

clearDescriptors

public void clearDescriptors()
Clear any cached property descriptors information for all classes loaded by any class loaders. This is useful in cases where class loaders are thrown away to implement class reloading.

copyProperties

public void copyProperties(java.lang.Object dest,
                           java.lang.Object orig)
                    throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
                           java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException,
                           java.lang.NoSuchMethodException

Copy property values from the "origin" bean to the "destination" bean for all cases where the property names are the same (even though the actual getter and setter methods might have been customized via BeanInfo classes). No conversions are performed on the actual property values -- it is assumed that the values retrieved from the origin bean are assignment-compatible with the types expected by the destination bean.

If the origin "bean" is actually a Map, it is assumed to contain String-valued simple property names as the keys, pointing at the corresponding property values that will be set in the destination bean.Note that this method is intended to perform a "shallow copy" of the properties and so complex properties (for example, nested ones) will not be copied.

Parameters:
dest - Destination bean whose properties are modified
orig - Origin bean whose properties are retrieved
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the dest or orig argument is null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method throws an exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if an accessor method for this propety cannot be found

describe

public java.util.Map describe(java.lang.Object bean)
                       throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
                              java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException,
                              java.lang.NoSuchMethodException

Return the entire set of properties for which the specified bean provides a read method. This map contains the unconverted property values for all properties for which a read method is provided (i.e. where the getReadMethod() returns non-null).

FIXME - Does not account for mapped properties.

Parameters:
bean - Bean whose properties are to be extracted
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean is null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method throws an exception

Retrieve the property descriptor for the specified property of the specified bean, or return null if there is no such descriptor. This method resolves indexed and nested property references in the same manner as other methods in this class, except that if the last (or only) name element is indexed, the descriptor for the last resolved property itself is returned.

FIXME - Does not work with DynaBeans.

Parameters:

name - Possibly indexed and/or nested name of the property for which a property descriptor is requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean or name is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a nested reference to a property returns null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method throws an exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if an accessor method for this propety cannot be found

getPropertyDescriptors

Retrieve the property descriptors for the specified class, introspecting and caching them the first time a particular bean class is encountered.

FIXME - Does not work with DynaBeans.

Parameters:
beanClass - Bean class for which property descriptors are requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if beanClass is null

getPropertyDescriptors

public java.beans.PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors(java.lang.Object bean)

Retrieve the property descriptors for the specified bean, introspecting and caching them the first time a particular bean class is encountered.

FIXME - Does not work with DynaBeans.

Parameters:
bean - Bean for which property descriptors are requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean is null

getPropertyEditorClass

public java.lang.Class getPropertyEditorClass(java.lang.Object bean,
                                              java.lang.String name)
                                       throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,
                                              java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException,
                                              java.lang.NoSuchMethodException

Return the Java Class repesenting the property editor class that has been registered for this property (if any). This method follows the same name resolution rules used by getPropertyDescriptor(), so if the last element of a name reference is indexed, the property editor for the underlying property's class is returned.

Note that null will be returned if there is no property, or if there is no registered property editor class. Because this return value is ambiguous, you should determine the existence of the property itself by other means.

FIXME - Does not work with DynaBeans.

Parameters:
bean - Bean for which a property descriptor is requested
name - Possibly indexed and/or nested name of the property for which a property descriptor is requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean or name is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a nested reference to a property returns null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method throws an exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if an accessor method for this propety cannot be found

getPropertyType

public java.lang.Class getPropertyType(java.lang.Object bean,
                                       java.lang.String name)
                                throws java.lang.IllegalAccessException,

                                       java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
Return the Java Class representing the property type of the specified property, or null if there is no such property for the specified bean. This method follows the same name resolution rules used by getPropertyDescriptor(), so if the last element of a name reference is indexed, the type of the property itself will be returned. If the last (or only) element has no property with the specified name, null is returned.

Parameters:
bean - Bean for which a property descriptor is requested
name - Possibly indexed and/or nested name of the property for which a property descriptor is requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have access to the property accessor method
