 org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaProperty
| DynaProperty | | public class DynaProperty implements Serializable(Code) | | The metadata describing an individual property of a DynaBean.
The meta contains an optional content type property (
DynaProperty.getContentType )
for use by mapped and iterated properties.
A mapped or iterated property may choose to indicate the type it expects.
The DynaBean implementation may choose to enforce this type on its entries.
Alternatively, an implementatin may choose to ignore this property.
All keys for maps must be of type String so no meta data is needed for map keys.

| Constructor Summary | |
| public | DynaProperty(String name)
Construct a property that accepts any data type. | | public | DynaProperty(String name, Class type)
Construct a property of the specified data type. | | public | DynaProperty(String name, Class type, Class contentType)
Construct an indexed or mapped DynaProperty that supports (pseudo)-introspection
of the content type. |
| Method Summary | |
| public boolean | equals(Object obj)
Checks this instance against the specified Object for equality. | | public Class | getContentType()
Gets the (optional) type of the indexed content for DynaProperty's
that support this feature.
There are issues with serializing primitive class types on certain JVM versions
(including java 1.3).
Therefore, this field must not be serialized using the standard methods.

Get the name of this property. | | public Class | getType()
Gets the Java class representing the data type of the underlying property
values.

| | public boolean | isIndexed()
Does this property represent an indexed value (ie an array or List)?
true if the property is indexed (i.e. | | public boolean | isMapped()

| equals | | public boolean equals(Object obj)(Code) | | Checks this instance against the specified Object for equality. Overrides the
default refererence test for equality provided by
java.lang.Object.equals(Object)
Parameters:
obj - The object to compare to true if object is a dyna property with the same nametype and content type, otherwise false |
