Class BeanIntrospector

java.lang.Object
  nl.tudelft.simulation.introspection.beans.BeanIntrospector

All Implemented Interfaces:

Introspector

public class BeanIntrospector

extends java.lang.Object

implements Introspector

The Bean introspector provides a simplified JavaBean TM implementation of the introspection interfaces. Its behavior adhers to the following:

• Properties are discovered by searching for 'getter' and / or 'setter' methods
• Property value are manipulated via a property's 'setter' method. If no such method is found, the property cannot be altered
• Indexed properties are probably not correctly supported.
