A JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder can be used to create JavaBeanStringProperties. To create a JavaBeanStringProperty one first has to call create() to generate a builder, set the required properties, and then one can call build() to generate the property.

Not all properties of a builder have to specified, there are several combinations possible. As a minimum the name(java.lang.String) of the property and the bean(java.lang.Object) have to be specified. If the names of the getter and setter follow the conventions, this is sufficient. Otherwise it is possible to specify an alternative name for the getter and setter (getter(java.lang.String) and setter(java.lang.String)) or the getter and setter Methods directly (getter(java.lang.reflect.Method) and setter(java.lang.reflect.Method)).

All methods to change properties return a reference to this builder, to enable method chaining.

If you have to generate adapters for the same property of several instances of the same class, you can reuse a JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder by switching the Java Bean instance (with bean(java.lang.Object) and calling build().

Method Detail

beanback to summary
public JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder bean(Object bean)

Sets the Java Bean instance the adapter should connect to.

Parameters

the Java Bean instance

Returns:JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder

a reference to this builder to enable method chaining

beanClassback to summary
public JavaBeanStringPropertyBuilder beanClass(Class<?> beanClass)

public JavaBeanStringProperty build() throws NoSuchMethodException

Generates a new JavaBeanStringProperty with the current settings.

Returns:JavaBeanStringProperty

the new JavaBeanStringProperty

Exceptions
NoSuchMethodException:
if the settings were not sufficient to find the getter and the setter of the Java Bean property
IllegalArgumentException:
if the Java Bean property is not of type String
