All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyAccess

public class PropertyAdapter
extends BeanPropertyAdapter

A bit of a general utility class singleton that stands as the entry point for adapting bean or meta-object-like property access to various object types in a unified way. Basically, this allows code to treat a bean or a meta-object the same for certain operations and can potentially be expanded to include registration for other types of converters. For now, just beans and MetaObjects are good enough. It also handles listener registration for ObservableLists. This implementation includes a few extra methods not found in a standard PropertyAccess object. These provide extra value for calling code that is already in a meta-object environment.

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.Object object,
                                    java.lang.String property)

Returns the specified property from the specified object in whatever implementation specific way is most friendly.

Specified by:

getProperty in interface PropertyAccess

Overrides:

getProperty in class BeanPropertyAdapter

hasProperty

public boolean hasProperty(java.lang.Object object,
                           java.lang.String property)

Returns true if the specified object appears to have the specified property.

Specified by:

hasProperty in interface PropertyAccess

Overrides:

hasProperty in class BeanPropertyAdapter

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.Object object,
                        java.lang.String property,
                        java.lang.Object value)

Sets the specified property on the specified object to the specified value using whatever implementation specific way is most friendly.

Specified by:

setProperty in interface PropertyAccess

Overrides:

setProperty in class BeanPropertyAdapter

getPropertyType

public PropertyType getPropertyType(java.lang.Object object,
                                    java.lang.String property)

Returns the best-match PropertyType for the specified property on the specified object.

getPropertyClass

public java.lang.Class getPropertyClass(java.lang.Object object,
                                        java.lang.String property)

Returns the Java type for the specified property on the specified object.

Specified by:

getPropertyClass in interface PropertyAccess

addPropertyChangeListener

public boolean addPropertyChangeListener(java.lang.Object object,
                                         java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Adds the specified property change listener to the specified object using whatever implementation specific way is most friendly. This method will attempt to find the property change listener methods but will not fail if it doesn't find them.

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface PropertyAccess

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class BeanPropertyAdapter

Returns:

true if the addPropertyChangeListener() method was found and executed successfully. false otherwise.

addPropertyChangeListener

public boolean addPropertyChangeListener(java.lang.Object object,
                                         java.lang.String property,

Adds the specified property change listener to the specified object using whatever implementation specific way is most friendly. This method will attempt to find the property change listener methods but will not fail if it doesn't find them.

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface PropertyAccess

Overrides:

addPropertyChangeListener in class BeanPropertyAdapter

Returns:

true if the addPropertyChangeListener() method was found and executed successfully. false otherwise.

removePropertyChangeListener

public boolean removePropertyChangeListener(java.lang.Object object,
                                            java.beans.PropertyChangeListener listener)

Removes a previously registered property change listener from the specified object using whatever implementation specific way is most friendly. This method will attempt to find the property change listener methods but will not fail if it doesn't find them.

Specified by:

removePropertyChangeListener in interface PropertyAccess

Overrides:

removePropertyChangeListener in class BeanPropertyAdapter

Returns:

true if the removePropertyChangeListener() method was found and executed successfully. false otherwise.

removePropertyChangeListener
