org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaClass |
Known Indirect Subclasses |
A DynaClass is a simulation of the functionality of
java.lang.Class
for classes implementing the
DynaBean
interface. DynaBean instances that share the same
DynaClass all have the same set of available properties, along with any
associated data types, read-only states, and write-only states.

Return an array of | |||||||||||
Return a property descriptor for the specified property, if it exists;
otherwise, return
null . | |||||||||||
Return the name of this DynaClass (analogous to the
getName() method of java.lang.Class DynaClass implementation class to support
different dynamic classes, with different sets of properties. | |||||||||||
Instantiate and return a new DynaBean instance, associated
with this DynaClass.

Return an array of ProperyDescriptors
for the properties
currently defined in this DynaClass. If no properties are defined, a
zero-length array will be returned.
FIXME - Should we really be implementing
getBeanInfo()
instead, which returns property descriptors
and a bunch of other stuff?
Return a property descriptor for the specified property, if it exists;
otherwise, return null
.
