Class BeanTypeDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.core.convert.TypeDescriptor
      org.springframework.expression.spel.support.BeanTypeDescriptor

public class BeanTypeDescriptor
extends TypeDescriptor

TypeDescriptor extension that exposes additional annotations as conversion metadata: namely, annotations on other accessor methods (getter/setter) and on the underlying field, if found. org.springframework.beans.BeanTypeDescriptor (beans module) is very similar to this but depending on that would introduce a beans dependency from the SpEL module.
