getSpecificTargetClasses

public Class<?>[] getSpecificTargetClasses()

Description copied from interface: TargetedAccessor

Get the set of classes for which this accessor should be called.

Returning null or an empty array indicates this is a generic accessor that can be called in an attempt to access an element on any type.

Specified by:

getSpecificTargetClasses in interface TargetedAccessor

Returns:

an array of classes that this accessor is suitable for (or null or an empty array if a generic accessor)

canRead

public boolean canRead(EvaluationContext context,
 @Nullable
 Object target,
 String name)
                throws AccessException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Called to determine if this property accessor is able to read a specified property on a specified target object.

Specified by:

canRead in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

Returns:

true if this property accessor is able to read the property

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem determining whether the property can be read

read

public TypedValue read(EvaluationContext context,
 @Nullable
 Object target,
 String name)
                throws AccessException

Should only succeed if PropertyAccessor.canRead(org.springframework.expression.EvaluationContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.String) also returns true.

Specified by:

read in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

Returns:

a TypedValue object wrapping the property value read and a type descriptor for it

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem reading the property value

canWrite

public boolean canWrite(EvaluationContext context,
 @Nullable
 Object target,
 String name)
                 throws AccessException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Called to determine if this property accessor is able to write to a specified property on a specified target object.

Specified by:

canWrite in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

Returns:

true if this property accessor is able to write to the property

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem determining whether the property can be written to

write

public void write(EvaluationContext context,
 @Nullable
 Object target,
 String name,
 @Nullable
 Object newValue)
           throws AccessException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Called to write to a property on a specified target object.

Should only succeed if PropertyAccessor.canWrite(org.springframework.expression.EvaluationContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.String) also returns true.

Specified by:

write in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed
