All Implemented Interfaces:

MutablePropertyAccessStrategy, PropertyAccessStrategy

Direct Known Subclasses:

AnnotationAwareBeanPropertyAccessStrategy

public class BeanPropertyAccessStrategy
extends AbstractPropertyAccessStrategy

An implementation of MutablePropertyAccessStrategy that provides access to the properties of a JavaBean.

As this class delegates to a BeanWrapper for property access, there is full support for nested properties, enabling the setting/getting of properties on subproperties to an unlimited depth.

bean - JavaBean to be accessed through this class.

BeanPropertyAccessStrategy

public BeanPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder)

Creates a new instance of BeanPropertyAccessStrategy that will provide access to the JavaBean contained by the provided value model.

Parameters:

domainObjectHolder - value model that holds the JavaBean to be accessed through this class

BeanPropertyAccessStrategy

                                     String basePropertyPath)

Creates a child instance of BeanPropertyAccessStrategy that will delegate to its parent for property access.

Parameters:

parent - BeanPropertyAccessStrategy which will be used to provide property access

basePropertyPath - property path that will as a base when accessing the parent BeanPropertyAccessStrategy
