Interface MutablePropertyAccessStrategy

PropertyAccessStrategy

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface MutablePropertyAccessStrategy
extends PropertyAccessStrategy

An extension of the base property access strategy interface that allows for mutable operations. Specifically, this interface allows:

• registering custom property editors for performing type conversions
• returning a domain object holder allowing the underlying domain object to be changed and subscribed to for modification, and
• adding listeners for changes on particular properties.

Method Detail

getDomainObjectHolder

ValueModel getDomainObjectHolder()

Get the ValueModel used to access the domainObject.

Returns:

the ValueModel of the domainObject.

getPropertyValueModel

ValueModel getPropertyValueModel(String propertyPath)
                                 throws BeansException

Get the ValueModel to access the given property. Possibly creating the valueModel if needed.

Parameters:

propertyPath - property to access.

Returns:

ValueModel that handles the given property.

Throws:

BeansException

getPropertyAccessStrategyForPath

MutablePropertyAccessStrategy getPropertyAccessStrategyForPath(String propertyPath)
                                                               throws BeansException

Get a MutablePropertyAccessStrategy for the given property. TODO check why this exists and where this is used.

Parameters:

propertyPath - property.

Returns:

MutablePropertyAccessStrategy for the given property.

Throws:

BeansException

newPropertyAccessStrategy

MutablePropertyAccessStrategy newPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder)

Return a new MutablePropertyAccessStrategy for the given valueModel. TODO check why this exists and where this is used.

Parameters:

domainObjectHolder - a ValueModel containing the domainObject.

Returns:

a newly created MutablePropertyAccessStrategy.
