Class Overview
Object to hold information and value for an individual bean property. Using an object here, rather than just storing all properties in a map keyed by property name, allows for more flexibility, and the ability to handle indexed properties etc in an optimized way.
Note that the value doesn't need to be the final required type:
A BeanWrapper implementation should handle any necessary conversion,
as this object doesn't know anything about the objects it will be applied to.

Public Constructors
public PropertyValue (String name, Object value)
Create a new PropertyValue instance.
Parameters
| name | the name of the property (never null) |
|---|---|
| value | the value of the property (possibly before type conversion) |
public PropertyValue (PropertyValue original)
Copy constructor.
Parameters
| original | the PropertyValue to copy (never null)
|
|---|
public PropertyValue (PropertyValue original, Object newValue)
Constructor that exposes a new value for an original value holder. The original holder will be exposed as source of the new holder.
Parameters
| original | the PropertyValue to link to (never null) |
|---|---|
| newValue | the new value to apply |
Public Methods
public synchronized Object getConvertedValue ()
Return the converted value of the constructor argument, after processed type conversion.
public PropertyValue getOriginalPropertyValue ()
Return the original PropertyValue instance for this value holder.
Returns
- the original PropertyValue (either a source of this value holder or this value holder itself).
public Object getValue ()
Return the value of the property.
Note that type conversion will not have occurred here. It is the responsibility of the BeanWrapper implementation to perform type conversion.
public synchronized boolean isConverted ()
Return whether this holder contains a converted value already (true),
or whether the value still needs to be converted (false).
public synchronized void setConvertedValue (Object value)
Set the converted value of the constructor argument, after processed type conversion.
