Class WrapDynaBean

java.lang.Object

org.oddjob.framework.WrapDynaBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

public class WrapDynaBean
extends Object
implements org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

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.

Based on the BeanUtils version but provide a Serializable DynaClass.

Author:

Rob Gorodon, based on the original from BeanUtils.

Constructor Detail

WrapDynaBean

public WrapDynaBean(Object instance)

Construct a new DynaBean associated with the specified JavaBean instance.

Parameters:

instance - JavaBean instance to be wrapped

Method Detail

contains

public boolean contains(String name,
               String key)

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

Specified by:

contains in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

Parameters:

name - Name of the property to check

key - Name of the key to check

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no property of the specified name

get

public Object get(String name)

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

Specified by:

get in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

Parameters:

name - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no property of the specified name

get

public Object get(String name,
         int index)

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

Specified by:

get in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

Parameters:

name - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved

index - Index of the value to be retrieved

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

get

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.

Specified by:

get in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

Parameters:

name - Name of the property whose value is to be retrieved

key - Key of the value to be retrieved

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there is no property of the specified name

IllegalArgumentException - if the specified property exists, but is not mapped

getDynaClass

public WrapDynaClass getDynaClass()

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

Specified by:

getDynaClass in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

remove

public void remove(String name,
          String key)

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

Specified by:

remove in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

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

set

public void set(String name,
       Object value)

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

Specified by:

set in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

Parameters:

name - Name of the property whose value is to be set

value - Value to which this property is to be set

Throws:

org.apache.commons.beanutils.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

set

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

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

Specified by:

set in interface org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean

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

getInstance

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

getDynaProperty

protected org.apache.commons.beanutils.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

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this is not a valid property name for our DynaClass
