Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	existsProperty(Type type, String dynamicPropertyExpression) Determines whether a property matching the given expression exists for the specified type.
NestedProperty	getNestedProperty(Type type, String propertyExpression) Deprecated. use getProperty(java.lang.reflect.Type, String) instead
Map<String,Property>	getProperties(Type type) Collects and returns the (mappable) properties for the given type.
Property	getProperty(Property owner, String dynamicPropertyExpression) Resolves a property for the specified type; nested and dynamically defined properties should be handled automatically.

Method Detail

getProperties

Map<String,Property> getProperties(Type type)

Collects and returns the (mappable) properties for the given type. Such properties are not required to have both getter and setter, as in some cases, they will participate in one-way mappings.

Parameters:

type - the type for which to resolve properties

Returns:

a Map keyed by property names, with corresponding Property instances as values

getNestedProperty

@Deprecated
NestedProperty getNestedProperty(Type type,
                                             String propertyExpression)

Deprecated. use getProperty(java.lang.reflect.Type, String) instead

Resolves a nested property for the provided type, based on the specified property expression (a sequence property names qualified by '.').

Parameters:

type -

propertyExpression -

Returns:

the NestedProperty instance defined by the provided expression

getProperty

Property getProperty(Type type,
                     String dynamicPropertyExpression)

Resolves a property for the specified type; nested and dynamically defined properties should be handled automatically.

Parameters:

type -

dynamicPropertyExpression -

Returns:

the property (of any format)

existsProperty

boolean existsProperty(Type type,
                       String dynamicPropertyExpression)

Determines whether a property matching the given expression exists for the specified type.

Parameters:

type - the type to test

dynamicPropertyExpression -

Returns:

true if a property can be found matching the specified expression owned by the specified type

getProperty

Property getProperty(Property owner,
                     String dynamicPropertyExpression)

Resolves a property for the specified type; nested and dynamically defined properties should be handled automatically.

Parameters:

owner -

dynamicPropertyExpression -

Returns:

the property (of any format)
