public class MutablePropertyValues
extends Object
implements PropertyValues, Serializable

- Constructor Detail
  - MutablePropertyValues
```
public MutablePropertyValues()
```
    Creates a new empty MutablePropertyValues object.
    Property values can be added with the add method.
    
    See Also:
    
    add(String, Object)
  - MutablePropertyValues
```
public MutablePropertyValues(PropertyValues original)
```
    Deep copy constructor. Guarantees PropertyValue references are independent, although it can't deep copy objects currently referenced by individual PropertyValue objects.
    
    Parameters:
    
    original - the PropertyValues to copy
    
    See Also:
    
    addPropertyValues(PropertyValues)
  - MutablePropertyValues
```
public MutablePropertyValues(Map<?,?> original)
```
    Construct a new MutablePropertyValues object from a Map.
    
    Parameters:
    
    original - Map with property values keyed by property name Strings
    
    See Also:
    
    addPropertyValues(Map)
  - MutablePropertyValues
```
public MutablePropertyValues(List<PropertyValue> propertyValueList)
```
    Construct a new MutablePropertyValues object using the given List of PropertyValue objects as-is.
    This is a constructor for advanced usage scenarios. It is not intended for typical programmatic use.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyValueList - List of PropertyValue objects
- Method Detail
  - getPropertyValueList
```
public List<PropertyValue> getPropertyValueList()
```
    Return the underlying List of PropertyValue objects in its raw form. The returned List can be modified directly, although this is not recommended.
    This is an accessor for optimized access to all PropertyValue objects. It is not intended for typical programmatic use.
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Return the number of PropertyValue entries in the list.
  - addPropertyValues
```
public MutablePropertyValues addPropertyValues(PropertyValues other)
```
    Copy all given PropertyValues into this object. Guarantees PropertyValue references are independent, although it can't deep copy objects currently referenced by individual PropertyValue objects.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - the PropertyValues to copy
    
    Returns:
    
    this in order to allow for adding multiple property values in a chain
  - addPropertyValues
```
public MutablePropertyValues addPropertyValues(Map<?,?> other)
```
    Add all property values from the given Map.
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - Map with property values keyed by property name, which must be a String
    
    Returns:
    
    this in order to allow for adding multiple property values in a chain
  - addPropertyValue
```
public MutablePropertyValues addPropertyValue(PropertyValue pv)
```
    Add a PropertyValue object, replacing any existing one for the corresponding property or getting merged with it (if applicable).
    
    Parameters:
    
    pv - PropertyValue object to add
    
    Returns:
    
    this in order to allow for adding multiple property values in a chain
  - addPropertyValue
```
public void addPropertyValue(String propertyName,
                             Object propertyValue)
```
    Overloaded version of addPropertyValue that takes a property name and a property value.
    Note: As of Spring 3.0, we recommend using the more concise and chaining-capable variant add(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object).
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName - name of the property
    
    propertyValue - value of the property
    
    See Also:
    
    addPropertyValue(PropertyValue)

public MutablePropertyValues add(String propertyName,
                                 Object propertyValue)
