Method Summary

static Map	describe(Object object) The Apache BeanUtils version of this converts all values to String, which is pretty useless, it also includes stuff not defined by the user
static Map<String,Object>	describeBean(Object object) Similar to describe(Object) except that it will only populate bean properties where there is a valid getter and setter method.
static void	populate(Object bean, Map props) This will overlay a map of properties on a bean.
static void	populateWithoutFail(Object object, Map props, boolean logWarnings) Exception safe version of BeanUtils.populate()

                                       Map props,
                                       boolean logWarnings)

Exception safe version of BeanUtils.populate()

public static void populate(Object bean,
                            Map props)
                     throws IllegalAccessException,
                            InvocationTargetException

This will overlay a map of properties on a bean. This method will validate that all properties are available on the bean before setting the properties

Parameters:

bean - the bean on which to set the properties

props - a Map of properties to set on the bean

Throws:

IllegalAccessException

InvocationTargetException

describe

public static Map describe(Object object)

The Apache BeanUtils version of this converts all values to String, which is pretty useless, it also includes stuff not defined by the user

Parameters:

object - the object to Describe

Returns:

a map of the properties on the object

describeBean

public static Map<String,Object> describeBean(Object object)

Similar to describe(Object) except that it will only populate bean properties where there is a valid getter and setter method. Basically this method will describe a bean and honour its encapsulation.

Parameters:

object - the object to describe

Returns:

a map of published properties
