public class BeanMap
extends java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>
implements java.lang.Cloneable

Constructor Detail

BeanMap

public BeanMap()

Constructs a new empty BeanMap.

BeanMap

public BeanMap(java.lang.Object bean)

Constructs a new BeanMap that operates on the specified bean. If the given bean is null, then this map will be empty.

Parameters:

bean - the bean for this map to operate on

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone this bean map using the following process:

• If there is no underlying bean, return a cloned BeanMap without a bean.

• Since there is an underlying bean, try to instantiate a new bean of the same type using Class.newInstance().

• If the instantiation fails, throw a CloneNotSupportedException

• Clone the bean map and set the newly instantiated bean as the underlying bean for the bean map.

• Copy each property that is both readable and writable from the existing object to a cloned bean map.

• If anything fails along the way, throw a CloneNotSupportedException.

Overrides:

clone in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

putAllWriteable

public void putAllWriteable(BeanMap map)

Puts all of the writable properties from the given BeanMap into this BeanMap. Read-only and Write-only properties will be ignored.

Parameters:

map - the BeanMap whose properties to put

clear

public void clear()

This method reinitializes the bean map to have default values for the bean's properties. This is accomplished by constructing a new instance of the bean which the map uses as its underlying data source. This behavior for clear() differs from the Map contract in that the mappings are not actually removed from the map (the mappings for a BeanMap are fixed).

Specified by:

clear in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

clear in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.String name)

Returns true if the bean defines a property with the given name.

The given name must be a String; if not, this method returns false. This method will also return false if the bean does not define a property with that name.

Write-only properties will not be matched as the test operates against property read methods.

Parameters:

name - the name of the property to check

Returns:

false if the given name is null or is not a String; false if the bean does not define a property with that name; or true if the bean does define a property with that name

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name)

Returns the value of the bean's property with the given name.

The given name must be a String and must not be null; otherwise, this method returns null. If the bean defines a property with the given name, the value of that property is returned. Otherwise, null is returned.

Write-only properties will not be matched as the test operates against property read methods.

Parameters:

name - the name of the property whose value to return

Returns:

the value of the property with that name

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String name,
                   java.lang.Object value)
                     throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                            java.lang.ClassCastException

Sets the bean property with the given name to the given value.

Specified by:

put in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

put in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Parameters:

name - the name of the property to set

value - the value to set that property to

Returns:

the previous value of that property

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given name is null; if the given name is not a String; if the bean doesn't define a property with that name; or if the bean property with that name is read-only

java.lang.ClassCastException

size

public int size()

Returns the number of properties defined by the bean.

Specified by:

size in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

size in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Returns:

the number of properties defined by the bean

keySet

public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> keySet()

Get the keys for this BeanMap.

Write-only properties are not included in the returned set of property names, although it is possible to set their value and to get their type.

Specified by:

keySet in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

keySet in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Returns:

BeanMap keys. The Set returned by this method is not modifiable.

entrySet

public java.util.Set<java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>> entrySet()

Gets a Set of MapEntry objects that are the mappings for this BeanMap.

Each MapEntry can be set but not removed.

Specified by:

entrySet in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Specified by:

entrySet in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Returns:

the unmodifiable set of mappings

values

public java.util.Collection<java.lang.Object> values()

Returns the values for the BeanMap.

Specified by:

values in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Overrides:

values in class java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

Returns:

values for the BeanMap. The returned collection is not modifiable.

getType

Returns the type of the property with the given name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the property

Returns:

the type of the property, or null if no such property exists

oldValue - the old value for that property

newValue - the new value for that property

createWriteMethodArguments

protected java.lang.Object[] createWriteMethodArguments(java.lang.reflect.Method method,

                                                        java.lang.ClassCastException

Creates an array of parameters to pass to the given mutator method. If the given object is not the right type to pass to the method directly, it will be converted using convertType(Class,Object).

Parameters:

method - the mutator method

value - the value to pass to the mutator method

Returns:

an array containing one object that is either the given value or a transformed value

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if convertType(Class,Object) raises it

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any other exception is raised by convertType(Class,Object)

java.lang.ClassCastException

convertType

protected java.lang.Object convertType(java.lang.Class<?> newType,
                           java.lang.Object value)
                                throws java.lang.InstantiationException,
                                       java.lang.IllegalAccessException,

                                       java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Converts the given value to the given type. First, reflection is is used to find a public constructor declared by the given class that takes one argument, which must be the precise type of the given value. If such a constructor is found, a new object is created by passing the given value to that constructor, and the newly constructed object is returned.

If no such constructor exists, and the given type is a primitive type, then the given value is converted to a string using its toString() method, and that string is parsed into the correct primitive type using, for instance, Integer.valueOf(String) to convert the string into an int.

If no special constructor exists and the given type is not a primitive type, this method returns the original value.

Parameters:

newType - the type to convert the value to

value - the value to convert

Returns:

the converted value

Throws:

java.lang.NumberFormatException - if newType is a primitive type, and the string representation of the given value cannot be converted to that type

java.lang.InstantiationException - if the constructor found with reflection raises it

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the constructor found with reflection raises it

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - never

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - never

getTypeFunction

protected com.google.common.base.Function<?,?> getTypeFunction(java.lang.Class<?> aType)

Returns a transformer for the given primitive type.

Parameters:

aType - the primitive type whose transformer to return

Returns:

a transformer that will convert strings into that type, or null if the given type is not a primitive type
