Class NestedMethodProperty<T>

java.lang.Object

com.vaadin.v7.data.util.AbstractProperty<T>

com.vaadin.v7.data.util.NestedMethodProperty<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Property<T>, Property.ReadOnlyStatusChangeNotifier, Property.ValueChangeNotifier, Serializable

@Deprecated
public class NestedMethodProperty<T>
extends AbstractProperty<T>

Deprecated.

As of 8.0, replaced by ValueProvider, Setter, see Binder

Nested accessor based property for a bean. The property is specified in the dotted notation, e.g. "address.street", and can contain multiple levels of nesting. When accessing the property value, all intermediate getters must exist and should return non-null values when the property value is accessed. If an intermediate getter returns null, a null value will be returned.

Since:

6.6

Constructor Detail

NestedMethodProperty

public NestedMethodProperty(Object instance,
                            String propertyName)

Deprecated.

Constructs a nested method property for a given object instance. The property name is a dot separated string pointing to a nested property, e.g. "manager.address.street".

Calling getValue will return null if any intermediate getter returns null

Parameters:

instance - top-level bean to which the property applies

propertyName - dot separated nested property name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the property name is invalid

Method Detail

getType

public Class<? extends T> getType()

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: Property

Returns the type of the Property. The methods getValue and setValue must be compatible with this type: one must be able to safely cast the value returned from getValue to the given type and pass any variable assignable to this type as an argument to setValue.

Returns:

type of the Property

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: AbstractProperty

Tests if the Property is in read-only mode. In read-only mode calls to the method setValue will throw ReadOnlyException and will not modify the value of the Property. Override for additional restrictions on what is considered a read-only property.

Specified by:

isReadOnly in interface Property<T>

Overrides:

isReadOnly in class AbstractProperty<T>

Returns:

true if the Property is in read-only mode, false if it's not

getValue

public T getValue()

Deprecated.

Gets the value stored in the Property. The value is resolved by calling the specified getter methods on the current instance:

Returns:

the value of the Property

See Also:

getInstance()

setValue

public void setValue(T newValue)
              throws Property.ReadOnlyException

Deprecated.

Sets the value of the property. The new value must be assignable to the type of this property.

Parameters:

newValue - the New value of the property.

Throws:

Property.ReadOnlyException - if the property has been set to read only

See Also:

invokeSetMethod(Object)

invokeSetMethod

protected void invokeSetMethod(T value)

Deprecated.

Internal method to actually call the setter method of the wrapped property.

Parameters:

value -

getGetMethods

protected List<Method> getGetMethods()

Deprecated.

Returns an unmodifiable list of getter methods to call in sequence to get the property value. This API may change in future versions.

Returns:

unmodifiable list of getter methods corresponding to each segment of the property name

getInstance

public Object getInstance()

Deprecated.

The instance used by this property.

Returns:

the instance used for fetching the property value

Since:

7.7.7

setInstance

public void setInstance(Object instance)

Deprecated.

Sets the instance used by this property.

The new instance must be of the same type as the old instance

To be consistent with setValue(Object), this method will fire a value change event even if the value stays the same

Parameters:

instance - the instance to use

Since:

7.7.7
