Class PropertyValue

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.beans.PropertyValue

public class PropertyValue

extends java.lang.Object

Class to hold information and value for an individual property. Using an object here, rather than just storing all properties in a map keyed by property name, allows for more flexibility, and the ability to handle indexed properties etc in a special way if necessary.

Note that the value doesn't need to be the final required type: A BeanWrapper implementation should handle any necessary conversion, as this object doesn't know anything about the objects it will be applied to.
