Method Summary

void	addProperty(PropertyInfo info) Adds the specified property info to this typed map.
void	addProperty(java.lang.String propertyName, java.lang.Class type) Adds the specified property to this typed map, inferring whatever other information is needed to create the property info object.
void	addProperty(java.lang.String propertyName, MetaClass type) Adds the specified property to this typed map, inferring whatever other information is needed to create the property info object.
void	addProperty(java.lang.String propertyName, PropertyType type) Adds the specified property to this typed map, inferring whatever other information is needed to create the property info object.
PropertyInfo	getPropertyInfo(java.lang.String name) Returns the descriptive information for the specified property.
java.util.Collection	getPropertyInfos() Returns an unmodifiable collection of property info objects.
static java.util.List	getPropertyInfos(java.util.Map map) Returns a list of property info objects by inspecting the contents of the map and using simple heuristics to determine value types.
java.util.Set	getPropertyNames() Returns the unmodifiable set of property names.
PropertyType	getPropertyType(java.lang.String name) Returns the type for the specified property.
java.util.Iterator	propertyNames() Returns an iterator over all valid property names.
java.lang.Object	put(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Object value) A type-safe version of put().
