Method Detail

setExtractOldValueForEditor

public void setExtractOldValueForEditor(boolean extractOldValueForEditor)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurablePropertyAccessor

Set whether to extract the old property value when applying a property editor to a new value for a property.

Specified by:

setExtractOldValueForEditor in interface ConfigurablePropertyAccessor

isExtractOldValueForEditor

public boolean isExtractOldValueForEditor()

Description copied from interface: ConfigurablePropertyAccessor

Return whether to extract the old property value when applying a property editor to a new value for a property.

Specified by:

isExtractOldValueForEditor in interface ConfigurablePropertyAccessor

setPropertyValue

public void setPropertyValue(PropertyValue pv)
                      throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Set the specified value as current property value.

Specified by:

setPropertyValue in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

pv - an object containing the new property value

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't writable

PropertyAccessException - if the property was valid but the accessor method failed or a type mismatch occured

BeansException

setPropertyValues

public void setPropertyValues(java.util.Map<?,?> map)
                       throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Perform a batch update from a Map.

Bulk updates from PropertyValues are more powerful: This method is provided for convenience. Behavior will be identical to that of the PropertyAccessor.setPropertyValues(PropertyValues) method.

Specified by:

setPropertyValues in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

map - Map to take properties from. Contains property value objects, keyed by property name

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't writable

PropertyBatchUpdateException - if one or more PropertyAccessExceptions occured for specific properties during the batch update. This exception bundles all individual PropertyAccessExceptions. All other properties will have been successfully updated.

BeansException

setPropertyValues

public void setPropertyValues(PropertyValues pvs)
                       throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

The preferred way to perform a batch update.

Note that performing a batch update differs from performing a single update, in that an implementation of this class will continue to update properties if a recoverable error (such as a type mismatch, but not an invalid field name or the like) is encountered, throwing a PropertyBatchUpdateException containing all the individual errors. This exception can be examined later to see all binding errors. Properties that were successfully updated remain changed.

Does not allow unknown fields or invalid fields.

Specified by:

setPropertyValues in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

pvs - PropertyValues to set on the target object

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't writable

PropertyBatchUpdateException - if one or more PropertyAccessExceptions occured for specific properties during the batch update. This exception bundles all individual PropertyAccessExceptions. All other properties will have been successfully updated.

BeansException

setPropertyValues

public void setPropertyValues(PropertyValues pvs,
                     boolean ignoreUnknown)
                       throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Perform a batch update with more control over behavior.

Note that performing a batch update differs from performing a single update, in that an implementation of this class will continue to update properties if a recoverable error (such as a type mismatch, but not an invalid field name or the like) is encountered, throwing a PropertyBatchUpdateException containing all the individual errors. This exception can be examined later to see all binding errors. Properties that were successfully updated remain changed.

Specified by:

setPropertyValues in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

pvs - PropertyValues to set on the target object

ignoreUnknown - should we ignore unknown properties (not found in the bean)

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't writable

PropertyBatchUpdateException - if one or more PropertyAccessExceptions occured for specific properties during the batch update. This exception bundles all individual PropertyAccessExceptions. All other properties will have been successfully updated.

                       throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Perform a batch update with full control over behavior.

Note that performing a batch update differs from performing a single update, in that an implementation of this class will continue to update properties if a recoverable error (such as a type mismatch, but not an invalid field name or the like) is encountered, throwing a PropertyBatchUpdateException containing all the individual errors.

Specified by:

setPropertyValues in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

pvs - PropertyValues to set on the target object

ignoreUnknown - should we ignore unknown properties (not found in the bean)

ignoreInvalid - should we ignore invalid properties (found but not accessible)

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't writable

PropertyBatchUpdateException - if one or more PropertyAccessExceptions occured for specific properties during the batch update. This exception bundles all individual PropertyAccessExceptions. All other properties will have been successfully updated.

BeansException

getPropertyType

public java.lang.Class getPropertyType(java.lang.String propertyPath)

Description copied from class: PropertyEditorRegistrySupport

Determine the property type for the given property path.

Called by PropertyEditorRegistrySupport.findCustomEditor(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.String) if no required type has been specified, to be able to find a type-specific editor even if just given a property path.

The default implementation always returns null. BeanWrapperImpl overrides this with the standard getPropertyType method as defined by the BeanWrapper interface.

Specified by:

getPropertyType in interface PropertyAccessor

Overrides:

getPropertyType in class PropertyEditorRegistrySupport

Parameters:

propertyPath - the property path to determine the type for

Returns:

the type of the property, or null if not determinable

See Also:

PropertyAccessor.getPropertyType(String)

getPropertyValue

public abstract java.lang.Object getPropertyValue(java.lang.String propertyName)
                                           throws BeansException

Actually get the value of a property.

Specified by:

getPropertyValue in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

propertyName - name of the property to get the value of

Returns:

the value of the property

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't readable

PropertyAccessException - if the property was valid but the accessor method failed

BeansException

setPropertyValue

public abstract void setPropertyValue(java.lang.String propertyName,
                    java.lang.Object value)
                               throws BeansException

Actually set a property value.

Specified by:

setPropertyValue in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

propertyName - name of the property to set value of

value - the new value

Throws:

InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property or if the property isn't writable

PropertyAccessException - if the property was valid but the accessor method failed or a type mismatch occured

BeansException
