Class BeanMap

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractMap
org.apache.commons.collections.BeanMap
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Map
@Deprecated(since="2021-04-30") public class BeanMap extends AbstractMap implements Cloneable
Deprecated.
Identical class now available in commons-beanutils (full jar version). This version is due to be removed in collections v4.0.
An implementation of Map for JavaBeans which uses introspection to get and put properties in the bean.

If an exception occurs during attempts to get or set a property then the property is considered non existent in the Map

Since:
Commons Collections 1.0

  • Field Details

    • NULL_ARGUMENTS

      public static final Object[] NULL_ARGUMENTS
      Deprecated.
      An empty array. Used to invoke accessors via reflection.

    • defaultTransformers

      public static HashMap defaultTransformers
      Deprecated.
      Maps primitive Class types to transformers. The transformer transform strings into the appropriate primitive wrapper.

  • Constructor Details

    • BeanMap

      public BeanMap()
      Deprecated.
      Constructs a new empty BeanMap.

    • BeanMap

      public BeanMap(Object bean)
      Deprecated.
      Constructs a new BeanMap that operates on the specified bean. If the given bean is null, then this map will be empty.
      Parameters:
      bean - the bean for this map to operate on

  • Method Details

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Deprecated.
      Overrides:
      toString in class AbstractMap

    • clone

      public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
      Deprecated.
      Clone this bean map using the following process:
      • If there is no underlying bean, return a cloned BeanMap without a bean.
      • Since there is an underlying bean, try to instantiate a new bean of the same type using Class.newInstance().
      • If the instantiation fails, throw a CloneNotSupportedException
      • Clone the bean map and set the newly instantiated bean as the underlying bean for the bean map.
      • Copy each property that is both readable and writable from the existing object to a cloned bean map.
      • If anything fails along the way, throw a CloneNotSupportedException.
        Throws:
        CloneNotSupportedException

      • putAllWriteable

        public void putAllWriteable(BeanMap map)
        Deprecated.
        Puts all of the writable properties from the given BeanMap into this BeanMap. Read-only and Write-only properties will be ignored.
        Parameters:
        map - the BeanMap whose properties to put

      • clear

        public void clear()
        Deprecated.
        This method reinitializes the bean map to have default values for the bean's properties. This is accomplished by constructing a new instance of the bean which the map uses as its underlying data source. This behavior for clear() differs from the Map contract in that the mappings are not actually removed from the map (the mappings for a BeanMap are fixed).
        Specified by:
        clear in interface Map
        Overrides:
        clear in class AbstractMap

      • containsKey

        public boolean containsKey(Object name)
        Deprecated.
        Returns true if the bean defines a property with the given name.

        The given name must be a String; if not, this method returns false. This method will also return false if the bean does not define a property with that name.

        Write-only properties will not be matched as the test operates against property read methods.

        Specified by:
        containsKey in interface Map
        Overrides:
        containsKey in class AbstractMap
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the property to check
        Returns:
        false if the given name is null or is not a String; false if the bean does not define a property with that name; or true if the bean does define a property with that name

      • containsValue

        public boolean containsValue(Object value)
        Deprecated.
        Returns true if the bean defines a property whose current value is the given object.
        Specified by:
        containsValue in interface Map
        Overrides:
        containsValue in class AbstractMap
        Parameters:
        value - the value to check
        Returns:
        false true if the bean has at least one property whose current value is that object, false otherwise

      • get

        public Object get(Object name)
        Deprecated.
        Returns the value of the bean's property with the given name.

        The given name must be a String and must not be null; otherwise, this method returns null. If the bean defines a property with the given name, the value of that property is returned. Otherwise, null is returned.

        Write-only properties will not be matched as the test operates against property read methods.

        Specified by:
        get in interface Map
        Overrides:
        get in class AbstractMap
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the property whose value to return
        Returns:
        the value of the property with that name

      • put

        public Object put(Object name, Object value) throws IllegalArgumentException, ClassCastException
        Deprecated.
        Sets the bean property with the given name to the given value.
        Specified by:
        put in interface Map
        Overrides:
        put in class AbstractMap
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the property to set
        value - the value to set that property to
        Returns:
        the previous value of that property
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the given name is null; if the given name is not a String; if the bean doesn't define a property with that name; or if the bean property with that name is read-only
        ClassCastException
