public AbstractProperty()

Method Detail

setValue

public void setValue(Object value)

Basic 'setValue' implementation. It is checked whether this property contains a composite value. If so, the composite value of this property is updated. Composite values are expected to be supplied as a {see java.util.Collection}. If needed, array conversion takes place. If the property is not composite, the value-setting is delegated to the 'setRegularValue' method. Maps cannot be updated at this moment.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Property

Parameters:

value - Object; The new value of this property.

See Also:

Property.setValue(java.lang.Object)

setRegularValue

protected abstract void setRegularValue(Object value)

Method used to set a regular (i.e. not-composite) property value.

Parameters:

value - Object; the new value

getComposedType

public ComposedTypeEnum getComposedType()

Returns the collection type of the contained value (i.e. a composite value). The definition whether a value is considered composite depends on the property paradigm used by this Property.

Specified by:

getComposedType in interface Property

Returns:

the CollectionTypeEnum of this Property.

getComponentType

public Class<?> getComponentType()

Returns the type of the collection components contained in this Property.

Specified by:

getComponentType in interface Property

Returns:

The type of the collection components contained in this Property. Returns null when isCollection() returns false, or when the component type could not be determined by this Property.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
