All Implemented Interfaces:

MutablePropertyAccessStrategy, PropertyAccessStrategy

public class ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy
extends AbstractPropertyAccessStrategy

An implementation of MutablePropertyAccessStrategy that provides access to the properties of any object.

As this class delegates to a DefaultMemberPropertyAccessor for property access, there is full support for nested properties and collection types.

	ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder) Creates a new instance of ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy that will provide access to the object contained by the provided value model.
	ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder, boolean fieldAccessEnabled) Creates a new instance of ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy that will provide access to the object contained by the provided value model.
	ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder, boolean fieldAccessEnabled, boolean strictNullValueHandling) Creates a new instance of ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy that will provide access to the object contained by the provided value model.

Constructor Detail

ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy

public ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(Object target)

Creates a new instance of ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy that will provide access to the properties of the provided object.

Parameters:

target - object to be accessed through this class.

ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy

public ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder)

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

Parameters:

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

ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy

public ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder,
                                    boolean fieldAccessEnabled)

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

Parameters:

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

fieldAccessEnabled - whether the fields of the objects should be accessed directly where possible instead of using methods

ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy

public ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ValueModel domainObjectHolder,
                                    boolean fieldAccessEnabled,
                                    boolean strictNullValueHandling)

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

Parameters:

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

fieldAccessEnabled - whether the fields of the objects should be accessed directly where possible instead of using methods

strictNullValueHandling - whether a NullValueInNestedPathException should be thrown on nested null-values or null should be returned

ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy

protected ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy(ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy parent,
                                       String basePropertyPath)

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

Parameters:

parent - ObjectPropertyAccessStrategy which will be used to provide property access

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