public class BeanWrapperImpl
extends AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor
implements BeanWrapper

Default BeanWrapper implementation that should be sufficient for all typical use cases. Caches introspection results for efficiency.

Note: Auto-registers default property editors from the org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors package, which apply in addition to the JDK's standard PropertyEditors. Applications can call the PropertyEditorRegistrySupport.registerCustomEditor(Class, java.beans.PropertyEditor) method to register an editor for a particular instance (i.e. they are not shared across the application). See the base class PropertyEditorRegistrySupport for details.

NOTE: As of Spring 2.5, this is - for almost all purposes - an internal class. It is just public in order to allow for access from other framework packages. For standard application access purposes, use the PropertyAccessorFactory.forBeanPropertyAccess(java.lang.Object) factory method instead.

Constructor Details

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl()

Create a new empty BeanWrapperImpl. Wrapped instance needs to be set afterwards. Registers default editors.

See Also:

• setWrappedInstance(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(boolean registerDefaultEditors)

Create a new empty BeanWrapperImpl. Wrapped instance needs to be set afterwards.

Parameters:

registerDefaultEditors - whether to register default editors (can be suppressed if the BeanWrapper won't need any type conversion)

See Also:

• setWrappedInstance(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(Object object)

Create a new BeanWrapperImpl for the given object.

Parameters:

object - the object wrapped by this BeanWrapper

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(Class<?> clazz)

Create a new BeanWrapperImpl, wrapping a new instance of the specified class.

Parameters:

clazz - class to instantiate and wrap

BeanWrapperImpl

public BeanWrapperImpl(Object object,
 String nestedPath,
 Object rootObject)

Create a new BeanWrapperImpl for the given object, registering a nested path that the object is in.

Parameters:

object - the object wrapped by this BeanWrapper

nestedPath - the nested path of the object

rootObject - the root object at the top of the path

Method Details

setBeanInstance

public void setBeanInstance(Object object)

Set a bean instance to hold, without any unwrapping of Optional.

Parameters:

object - the actual target object

Since:

4.3

See Also:

• AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.setWrappedInstance(Object)

setWrappedInstance

public void setWrappedInstance(Object object,
 @Nullable
 String nestedPath,
 @Nullable
 Object rootObject)

Description copied from class: AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor

Switch the target object, replacing the cached introspection results only if the class of the new object is different to that of the replaced object.

Overrides:

setWrappedInstance in class AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor

Parameters:

object - the new target object

nestedPath - the nested path of the object

rootObject - the root object at the top of the path

setIntrospectionClass

protected void setIntrospectionClass(Class<?> clazz)

Set the class to introspect. Needs to be called when the target object changes.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to introspect

convertForProperty

@Nullable
public Object convertForProperty(@Nullable

 String propertyName)
                          throws TypeMismatchException

Convert the given value for the specified property to the latter's type.

This method is only intended for optimizations in a BeanFactory. Use the convertIfNecessary methods for programmatic conversion.

Parameters:

value - the value to convert

propertyName - the target property (note that nested or indexed properties are not supported here)

Returns:

the new value, possibly the result of type conversion
