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(@Nullable
                             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(@Nullable
                             java.util.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(@Nullable
                             java.util.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 java.util.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(@Nullable
                                               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(@Nullable
                                               java.util.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(java.lang.String propertyName,
                             java.lang.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

addPropertyValue(PropertyValue)

add

public MutablePropertyValues add(java.lang.String propertyName,
                                 @Nullable

Add a PropertyValue object, replacing any existing one for the corresponding property or getting merged with it (if applicable).

Parameters:

propertyName - name of the property

propertyValue - value of the property

Returns:

this in order to allow for adding multiple property values in a chain

setPropertyValueAt

public void setPropertyValueAt(PropertyValue pv,
                               int i)

Modify a PropertyValue object held in this object. Indexed from 0.

mergeIfRequired

private PropertyValue mergeIfRequired(PropertyValue newPv,
                                      PropertyValue currentPv)

Merges the value of the supplied 'new' PropertyValue with that of the current PropertyValue if merging is supported and enabled.
