Method Summary

int	compareTo(java.lang.Object o) The implementation of this method allows a collection of PropertyInfo objects to be sorted lexicographically by the property name.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object o)
protected abstract boolean	equalsImpl(PropertyInfo info)
abstract java.lang.Class	getPropertyClass() Returns the class expected for values of this property.
abstract java.lang.String	getPropertyName() Returns the name of the property.
abstract java.lang.String	getPropertyPath() Gets the path for the property.
abstract java.lang.Object	getPropertyValue(java.lang.Object bean) Invokes the getter method using owningObject as the object on which the getter is called.
java.lang.Class	getReferencedClass() If this property is a reference property (i.e.
protected abstract boolean	isAfter() Returns true if the get OR set method for this property has the After annotation.
abstract boolean	isGetTransient() Returns true if the get method for this property has the Transient annotation.
boolean	isInternalReference() If this class is a reference property (i.e.
abstract boolean	isSetTransient() Returns true if the set method for this property has the Transient annotation.
boolean	isStaticReference() Only valid for properties with a return type of DBObjectID.
boolean	isTransient() Returns true if the get OR set method for this property has the Transient annotation.
abstract void	setPropertyValue(java.lang.Object bean, java.lang.Object value) Invokes the setter method using owningObject as the object on which the setter is called, and value as the value passed to the setter.

PropertyInfo

public PropertyInfo()

Method Detail

getPropertyName

public abstract java.lang.String getPropertyName()

Returns the name of the property.

getPropertyPath

public abstract java.lang.String getPropertyPath()

Gets the path for the property. For bean methods this will just be the property name, but other properties may be nested (e.g. under in the "properties" map.

getPropertyClass

public abstract java.lang.Class getPropertyClass()

Returns the class expected for values of this property.

getPropertyValue

public abstract java.lang.Object getPropertyValue(java.lang.Object bean)

Invokes the getter method using owningObject as the object on which the getter is called. This method will return null if any exception occurs while invoking the getter method.

setPropertyValue

public abstract void setPropertyValue(java.lang.Object bean,
                                      java.lang.Object value)
                               throws java.lang.Exception

Invokes the setter method using owningObject as the object on which the setter is called, and value as the value passed to the setter. If any Exception is encountered invoking the setter it is passed on to the caller.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

getReferencedClass

public java.lang.Class getReferencedClass()

If this property is a reference property (i.e. property class is DBObjectID) this returns the expected class of object that the property references. By default this is DBObject.class. For non-reference properties this method will return null.

Returns:

the expected class of object referenced, or null if this property isn't a reference property.

isInternalReference

public boolean isInternalReference()

If this class is a reference property (i.e. property class is DBObjectID) then this returns true if the referenced object is owned by the same SchemaObject as the object this property is on.

Returns:

true if this property is a reference property and the object it references is under the same owning SchemaObject as the object this property is on.

isGetTransient

public abstract boolean isGetTransient()

Returns true if the get method for this property has the Transient annotation.

Returns:

true if the get method for this property is "transient"

See Also:

Transient

isSetTransient

public abstract boolean isSetTransient()

Returns true if the set method for this property has the Transient annotation.

Returns:

true if the set method for this property is "transient"

See Also:

Transient

isTransient

public boolean isTransient()

Returns true if the get OR set method for this property has the Transient annotation.

See Also:

Transient

isAfter

protected abstract boolean isAfter()

Returns true if the get OR set method for this property has the After annotation.

Returns:

true if this property is "after" the others on the bean

See Also:

After

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

The implementation of this method allows a collection of PropertyInfo objects to be sorted lexicographically by the property name.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

equalsImpl

protected abstract boolean equalsImpl(PropertyInfo info)

isStaticReference

public boolean isStaticReference()

Only valid for properties with a return type of DBObjectID. If true it means that the property is static and shouldn't be replaced by any call to replaceReferenceIDs.

Returns:

false by default, or true to omit the property value from and replaceReferenceIDs logic on DBObject.
