PropertyValue

open class PropertyValue : BeanMetadataAttributeAccessor, Serializable

Object to hold information and value for an individual bean property. Using an object here, rather than just storing all properties in a map keyed by property name, allows for more flexibility, and the ability to handle indexed properties etc in an optimized way.

Note that the value doesn't need to be the final required type: A BeanWrapper implementation should handle any necessary conversion, as this object doesn't know anything about the objects it will be applied to.

Constructors

<init>

PropertyValue(name: String, value: Any)

Create a new PropertyValue instance.

PropertyValue(original: PropertyValue)

Copy constructor.

PropertyValue(original: PropertyValue, newValue: Any)

Constructor that exposes a new value for an original value holder. The original holder will be exposed as source of the new holder.

Functions

equals	`open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean`
getConvertedValue	`open fun getConvertedValue(): Any` Return the converted value of the constructor argument, after processed type conversion.
getName	`open fun getName(): String` Return the name of the property.
getOriginalPropertyValue	`open fun getOriginalPropertyValue(): PropertyValue` Return the original PropertyValue instance for this value holder.
getValue	`open fun getValue(): Any` Return the value of the property. Note that type conversion will not have occurred here. It is the responsibility of the BeanWrapper implementation to perform type conversion.
hashCode	`open fun hashCode(): Int`
isConverted	`open fun isConverted(): Boolean` Return whether this holder contains a converted value already (`true`), or whether the value still needs to be converted (`false`).
isOptional	`open fun isOptional(): Boolean` Return whether this is an optional value, that is, to be ignored when no corresponding property exists on the target class.
setConvertedValue	`open fun setConvertedValue(value: Any): Unit` Set the converted value of the constructor argument, after processed type conversion.
setOptional	`open fun setOptional(optional: Boolean): Unit` Set whether this is an optional value, that is, to be ignored when no corresponding property exists on the target class.
toString	`open fun toString(): String`
