BeanWrapper (Spring Framework API 2.0) - Spring Framework 2.0.5 API 文档英文版

The Spring Framework

org.springframework.beans
Interface BeanWrapper

All Superinterfaces:
ConfigurablePropertyAccessor, PropertyAccessor, PropertyEditorRegistry, TypeConverter
All Known Implementing Classes:
BeanWrapperImpl

public interface BeanWrapper
extends ConfigurablePropertyAccessor, TypeConverter

The central interface of Spring's low-level JavaBeans infrastructure.

Typically not used directly but rather implicitly via a BeanFactory or a DataBinder.

Provides operations to analyze and manipulate standard JavaBeans: the ability to get and set property values (individually or in bulk), get property descriptors, and query the readability/writability of properties.

This interface supports nested properties enabling the setting of properties on subproperties to an unlimited depth. A BeanWrapper instance can be used repeatedly, with its target object (the wrapped JavaBean instance) changing as required.

A BeanWrapper's default for the "extractOldValueForEditor" setting is "false", to avoid side effects caused by getter method invocations. Turn this to "true" to expose present property values to custom editors.

Method Detail

setWrappedInstance

void setWrappedInstance(Object obj)
Change the wrapped JavaBean object.

Parameters:
obj - the bean instance to wrap

getWrappedInstance

Object getWrappedInstance()
Return the bean instance wrapped by this object, if any.

Returns:
the bean instance, or null if none set

getWrappedClass

Class getWrappedClass()
Return the type of the wrapped JavaBean object.

Returns:
the type of the wrapped bean instance, or null if no wrapped object has been set

getPropertyDescriptors

PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors()
Obtain the PropertyDescriptors for the wrapped object (as determined by standard JavaBeans introspection).

Returns:
the PropertyDescriptors for the wrapped object

getPropertyDescriptor

PropertyDescriptor getPropertyDescriptor(String propertyName)
                                         throws BeansException
Obtain the property descriptor for a specific property of the wrapped object.

Parameters:
propertyName - the property to obtain the descriptor for (may be a nested path, but no indexed/mapped property)
Returns:
the property descriptor for the specified property
Throws:
InvalidPropertyException - if there is no such property
BeansException
