Method Detail

getUpstreamMember

Member getUpstreamMember()

Retrieves an optional Member reference pointing to a member of a foreign Java class that triggered rendering of the class that contains the current member. This is useful for rendering containers such as FieldSets.

Ex.: Class named "Foo" contains the field private FooFieldset fooFieldset;. Class named "FooFieldset" contains the field private String bar. As the plugin renders markup for Foo, it needs to render members of FooFieldset inside. As it reaches the field map bar, it will use the values reportingClass = Foo.class and upstreamMember = Foo#fooFieldset. These values can be then used to form up a rendering context for the current field bar: in particular, to get embeddable settings

Returns:

A nullable Member reference
