- Method Detail
  - containsMany
```
boolean containsMany()
```
    Return true if there is a property on the path that is a many property.
  - pathGet
```
Object pathGet(Object bean)
```
    Return the value from a given entity bean.
  - pathSet
```
void pathSet(Object bean,
             Object value)
```
    Set a value to the bean for this expression path.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bean - the bean to set the value on
    
    value - the value to set
  - convert
```
Object convert(Object value)
```
    Convert the value to the expected type.
    Typically useful for converting strings to the appropriate number type etc.

```
StringParser stringParser()
```
    Return the default StringParser for the scalar property.
  - jdbcType
```
int jdbcType()
```

  - assocIdExpression
```
String assocIdExpression(String propName,
                         String bindOperator)
```
    Return the Id expression string.
    Typically used to produce id = ? expression strings.
  - assocIdValues
```
Object[] assocIdValues(EntityBean bean)
```
    Return the Id values for the given bean value.
  - property
```
Property property()
```
    Return the underlying bean property.
  - elName
```
String elName()
