Class BeanPropertyMeta

java.lang.Object
org.apache.juneau.BeanPropertyMeta
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<BeanPropertyMeta>
public class BeanPropertyMeta extends Object implements Comparable<BeanPropertyMeta>
Contains metadata about a bean property.

Contains information such as type of property (e.g. field/getter/setter), class type of property value, and whether any transforms are associated with this property.

Developers will typically not need access to this class. The information provided by it is already exposed through several methods on the BeanMap API.

    • get

      public Object get(BeanMap<?> m, String pName)
      Equivalent to calling BeanMap.get(Object), but is faster since it avoids looking up the property meta.
      Parameters:
      m - The bean map to get the transformed value from.
      pName - The property name if this is a dyna property (i.e. "*").
      Otherwise can be null.

      The property value.
      Returns null if this is a write-only property.

    • getRaw

      public Object getRaw(BeanMap<?> m, String pName)
      Equivalent to calling BeanMap.getRaw(Object), but is faster since it avoids looking up the property meta.
      Parameters:
      m - The bean map to get the transformed value from.
      pName - The property name if this is a dyna property (i.e. "*").
      Otherwise can be null.
      Returns:
      The raw property value.

    • set

      public Object set(BeanMap<?> m, String pName, Object value) throws BeanRuntimeException
      Equivalent to calling BeanMap.put(String, Object), but is faster since it avoids looking up the property meta.

      This is a no-op on a read-only property.

      Parameters:
      m - The bean map to set the property value on.
      pName - The property name if this is a dyna property (i.e. "*").
      Otherwise can be null.
      value - The value to set.
      Returns:
      The previous property value.
      Throws:
      BeanRuntimeException - If property could not be set.

    • getDynaMap

      public Map<String,Object> getDynaMap(Object bean) throws IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException
      Returns the Map object returned by the DynaBean getter.

      The DynaBean property is the property whose name is "*" and returns a map of "extra" properties on the bean.

      Parameters:
      bean - The bean.
      Returns:
      The map returned by the getter, or an empty map if the getter returned null or this isn't a DynaBean property.

      Works on both Object and primitive arrays.

      Parameters:
      bean - The bean of the field.
      l - The collection to use to set the array field.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - Thrown by method invocation.
      IllegalAccessException - Thrown by method invocation.
      InvocationTargetException - Thrown by method invocation.

    • add

      public void add(BeanMap<?> m, String pName, Object value) throws BeanRuntimeException
      Adds a value to a Collection or array property.

      Note that adding values to an array property is inefficient for large arrays since it must copy the array into a larger array on each operation.

      Parameters:
      m - The bean of the field being set.
      pName - The property name if this is a dyna property (i.e. "*").
      Otherwise can be null.
      value - The value to add to the field.
      Throws:
      BeanRuntimeException - If field is not a collection or array.

    • add

      public void add(BeanMap<?> m, String pName, String key, Object value) throws BeanRuntimeException
      Adds a value to a Map or bean property.
      Parameters:
      m - The bean of the field being set.
      pName - The property name if this is a dyna property (i.e. "*").
      Otherwise can be null.
      key - The key to add to the field.
      value - The value to add to the field.
      Throws:
      BeanRuntimeException - If field is not a map or array.

      Parameters:
      a - The class to find annotations for.
