Method Detail

getSpecificTargetClasses

public java.lang.Class<?>[] getSpecificTargetClasses()

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Return an array of classes for which this resolver should be called.

>Returning null indicates this is a general resolver that can be called in an attempt to resolve a property on any type.

Specified by:

getSpecificTargetClasses in interface PropertyAccessor

Returns:

an array of classes that this resolver is suitable for (or null if a general resolver)

canRead

public boolean canRead(EvaluationContext context,
                       java.lang.Object target,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws AccessException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Called to determine if a resolver instance is able to access 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 resolver 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,
                       java.lang.Object target,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws AccessException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Called to read a property from a specified target object. 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 accessing the property value

canWrite

public boolean canWrite(EvaluationContext context,
                        java.lang.Object target,
                        java.lang.String name)
                 throws AccessException

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Called to determine if a resolver instance 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 resolver 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,
                  java.lang.Object target,
                  java.lang.String name,
                  java.lang.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

newValue - the new value for the property

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem writing to the property value
