Method Detail

getDelegate

protected abstract PojoPropertyAccessor getDelegate()

This method gets the accessor this proxy delegates to.

Returns:

the delegate.

getAccessibleObject

public AccessibleObject getAccessibleObject()

This method gets the accessible object used to access (read/write) this property.

Returns:

the method to read this property or null if this property is NOT readable.

See Also:

PropertyDescriptor, Method, Constructor, Field

getDeclaringClass

public Class<?> getDeclaringClass()

This method gets the class reflecting the type that declared this accessor. It may be the pojo-class this accessor was created from but it may also be a super-class where the field or method of this accessor is inherited from and is NOT overridden.
E.g. the read-accessor for the property "class" will have the declaring-class Object.

Returns:

the class reflecting the type that declared this accessor.

getModifiers

public int getModifiers()

This method gets the modifiers of the accessible object.

Returns:

the modifiers of the field or method.

See Also:

Modifier, Field.getModifiers(), Method.getModifiers()

getReturnClass

public Class<?> getReturnClass()

This method gets the Class of the object returned when this accessor is invoked.
is a convenience method for PojoPropertyAccessor.getReturnType(). getUpperBound()

Returns:

the return class.

See Also:

Method.getReturnType(), Field.getType()

getReturnType

public GenericType<?> getReturnType()

This method gets the GenericType of the object returned when this accessor is invoked.

Returns:

the return type.

See Also:

Method.getGenericReturnType(), Field.getGenericType()

getPropertyClass

public Class<?> getPropertyClass()

This method gets the type as Class. It is a convenience method for PojoPropertyAccessor.getPropertyType(). getUpperBound() if the mode is for reading and PojoPropertyAccessor.getPropertyType(). getLowerBound() otherwise.

Specified by:

getPropertyClass in interface PojoPropertyAccessor

Overrides:

getPropertyClass in class AbstractPojoPropertyAccessor

Returns:

the Class reflecting the property.

getPropertyType

public GenericType<?> getPropertyType()

This method gets the GenericType of this property.
For a getter this will be the return-type while a setter typically has void as return-type and this method will return the type of its argument. For mapped or indexed getters/setters this method will return the item type.

Returns:

the GenericType reflecting the property.

See Also:

PojoPropertyAccessor.getPropertyClass(), PropertyDescriptor

getName

public String getName()

This method gets the programmatic (technical) name of the according property.
E.g. for the read accessor public String getFooBar() the property name would be fooBar.

Returns:

the property name.

See Also:

PropertyDescriptor

getMode

public PojoPropertyAccessorMode<? extends PojoPropertyAccessor> getMode()

This method gets the mode of this accessor.

Returns:

the access mode.
