public class BeanWrapperImpl
extends AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor
implements BeanWrapper

Default BeanWrapper implementation that should be sufficient for all typical use cases. Caches introspection results for efficiency.

Note: Auto-registers default property editors from the org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors package, which apply in addition to the JDK's standard PropertyEditors. Applications can call the PropertyEditorRegistrySupport.registerCustomEditor(Class, java.beans.PropertyEditor) method to register an editor for a particular instance (i.e. they are not shared across the application). See the base class PropertyEditorRegistrySupport for details.

NOTE: As of Spring 2.5, this is - for almost all purposes - an internal class. It is just public in order to allow for access from other framework packages. For standard application access purposes, use the PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(java.lang.Object) factory method instead.

Constructor Detail

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl()

Create new empty BeanWrapperImpl. Wrapped instance needs to be set afterwards. Registers default editors.

See Also:

setWrappedInstance(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(boolean registerDefaultEditors)

Create new empty BeanWrapperImpl. Wrapped instance needs to be set afterwards.

Parameters:

registerDefaultEditors - whether to register default editors (can be suppressed if the BeanWrapper won't need any type conversion)

See Also:

setWrappedInstance(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(Object object)

Create new BeanWrapperImpl for the given object.

Parameters:

object - object wrapped by this BeanWrapper

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(Class<?> clazz)

Create new BeanWrapperImpl, wrapping a new instance of the specified class.

Parameters:

clazz - class to instantiate and wrap

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(Object object,
                       String nestedPath,
                       Object rootObject)

Create new BeanWrapperImpl for the given object, registering a nested path that the object is in.

Parameters:

object - object wrapped by this BeanWrapper

nestedPath - the nested path of the object

rootObject - the root object at the top of the path

Method Detail

setWrappedInstance

public void setWrappedInstance(Object object,
                               String nestedPath,
                               Object rootObject)

Description copied from class: AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor

Switch the target object, replacing the cached introspection results only if the class of the new object is different to that of the replaced object.

Overrides:

setWrappedInstance in class AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor

Parameters:

object - the new target object

nestedPath - the nested path of the object

rootObject - the root object at the top of the path

setSecurityContext

public void setSecurityContext(AccessControlContext acc)

Set the security context used during the invocation of the wrapped instance methods. Can be null.

getSecurityContext

public AccessControlContext getSecurityContext()

Return the security context used during the invocation of the wrapped instance methods. Can be null.

setIntrospectionClass

protected void setIntrospectionClass(Class<?> clazz)

Set the class to introspect. Needs to be called when the target object changes.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to introspect
