Class Overview

Implementation of DynaBean that wraps a standard JavaBean instance, so that DynaBean APIs can be used to access its properties.

The most common use cases for this class involve wrapping an existing java bean. (This makes it different from the typical use cases for other DynaBean's.) For example:

  Object aJavaBean = ...;
  ...
  DynaBean db = new WrapDynaBean(aJavaBean);
  ...
 

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - This implementation does not support the contains() and remove() methods.

Summary

Fields
protected WrapDynaClass dynaClass The DynaClass "base class" that this DynaBean is associated with.

Object get(String name)
Return the value of a simple property with the specified name.
Object get(String name, int index)
Return the value of an indexed property with the specified name.
Object get(String name, String key)
Return the value of a mapped property with the specified name, or null if there is no value for the specified key.
DynaClass getDynaClass()
Return the DynaClass instance that describes the set of properties available for this DynaBean.
Object getInstance()
Gets the bean instance wrapped by this DynaBean.
void remove(String name, String key)

Fields

protected WrapDynaClass dynaClass

The DynaClass "base class" that this DynaBean is associated with.

protected Object instance

The JavaBean instance wrapped by this WrapDynaBean.

Public Constructors

public WrapDynaBean (Object instance)

Construct a new DynaBean associated with the specified JavaBean instance.

Parameters
instance JavaBean instance to be wrapped

Public Methods

public boolean contains (String name, String key)

Does the specified mapped property contain a value for the specified key value?

Parameters
name Name of the property to check
key Name of the key to check
Returns
  • true if the mapped property contains a value for the specified key, otherwise false
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name

public Object get (String name)

Return the value of a simple property with the specified name.

Parameters
name Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
Returns
  • The property's value
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name

public Object get (String name, int index)

Return the value of an indexed property with the specified name.

Parameters
name Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
index Index of the value to be retrieved
Returns
  • The indexed property's value
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name
IllegalArgumentException if the specified property exists, but is not indexed
IndexOutOfBoundsException if the specified index is outside the range of the underlying property
NullPointerException if no array or List has been initialized for this property

public Object get (String name, String key)

Return the value of a mapped property with the specified name, or null if there is no value for the specified key.

Parameters
name Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved
key Key of the value to be retrieved
Returns
  • The mapped property's value
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name
IllegalArgumentException if the specified property exists, but is not mapped

public DynaClass getDynaClass ()

Return the DynaClass instance that describes the set of properties available for this DynaBean.

Returns
  • The associated DynaClass

public Object getInstance ()

Gets the bean instance wrapped by this DynaBean. For most common use cases, this object should already be known and this method safely be ignored. But some creators of frameworks using DynaBean's may find this useful.

Returns
  • the java bean Object wrapped by this DynaBean

public void remove (String name, String key)

Remove any existing value for the specified key on the specified mapped property.

Parameters
name Name of the property for which a value is to be removed
key Key of the value to be removed
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name

public void set (String name, String key, Object value)

Set the value of a mapped property with the specified name.

Parameters
name Name of the property whose value is to be set
key Key of the property to be set
value Value to which this property is to be set
Throws
ConversionException if the specified value cannot be converted to the type required for this property
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name
IllegalArgumentException if the specified property exists, but is not mapped

public void set (String name, int index, Object value)

Set the value of an indexed property with the specified name.

Parameters
name Name of the property whose value is to be set
index Index of the property to be set
value Value to which this property is to be set
Throws
ConversionException if the specified value cannot be converted to the type required for this property
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name
IllegalArgumentException if the specified property exists, but is not indexed
IndexOutOfBoundsException if the specified index is outside the range of the underlying property

public void set (String name, Object value)

Set the value of a simple property with the specified name.

Parameters
name Name of the property whose value is to be set
value Value to which this property is to be set
Throws
ConversionException if the specified value cannot be converted to the type required for this property
IllegalArgumentException if there is no property of the specified name
NullPointerException if an attempt is made to set a primitive property to null

Protected Methods

protected DynaProperty getDynaProperty (String name)

Return the property descriptor for the specified property name.

Parameters
name Name of the property for which to retrieve the descriptor
Returns
  • The descriptor for the specified property
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if this is not a valid property name for our DynaClass
