Constructor Detail

AbstractVirtualBean

public AbstractVirtualBean()

The constructor.

AbstractVirtualBean

public AbstractVirtualBean(BeanClass type)

The constructor.

Parameters:

type - the type.

Method Detail

isDynamic

public boolean isDynamic()

Specified by:

isDynamic in interface ReadableBean

Overrides:

isDynamic in class AbstractBean

Returns:

true if this Bean is dynamic meaning that is not strictly typed but allows to dynamically add properties, false otherwise.

See Also:

VirtualBean

isThreadSafe

protected boolean isThreadSafe()

Overrides:

isThreadSafe in class AbstractBean

Returns:

true if the Bean shall be thread-safe (use concurrent collections, etc.), false otherwise.

isPrototype

public final boolean isPrototype()

Specified by:

isPrototype in interface ReadableBean

Returns:

true if this Bean is a BeanClass, false otherwise (it is a regular instance).

See Also:

BeanClass.getPrototype()

getType

public BeanClass getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface ReadableBean

Specified by:

getType in interface VirtualBean

Returns:

the BeanType reflecting this Bean.

See Also:

VirtualBean.getType(), BeanClass

create

protected AbstractBean create()

Description copied from class: AbstractBean

Creates a new instance of this Bean implementation. The default implementation uses reflection. To improve performance please override this method. Please note, that if you do so, you also need to override this method again for all sub-classes of the hierarchy.

Overrides:

create in class AbstractBean

Returns:

the new Bean instance. Has to be of the same type as the current class.

getProperty

public io.github.mmm.property.WritableProperty<?> getProperty(String name)

Specified by:

getProperty in interface ReadableBean

Specified by:

getProperty in interface WritableBean

Overrides:

getProperty in class AbstractBean

Parameters:

name - the name of the requested property or a potential alias of the property.

Returns:

the requested WritableProperty or null if no such property exists.

See Also:

WritableBean.addProperty(WritableProperty), WritableBean.getOrCreateProperty(String, Class)

getPropertyCount

public int getPropertyCount()

Specified by:

getPropertyCount in interface ReadableBean

Overrides:

getPropertyCount in class AbstractBean

Returns:

the number of properties of this ReadableBean.

getProperties

public Collection<? extends io.github.mmm.property.WritableProperty<?>> getProperties()

Specified by:

getProperties in interface ReadableBean

Specified by:

getProperties in interface WritableBean

Overrides:

getProperties in class AbstractBean

Returns:

a Collection with all properties of this bean.

onPropertyAdded

protected void onPropertyAdded(io.github.mmm.property.WritableProperty<?> property)

Overrides:

onPropertyAdded in class AbstractBean

Parameters:

property - the WritableProperty that has been added.

updateProperties

protected void updateProperties()

Called before properties are accessed if dynamic and not read-only to allow implementations to update properties internally before.
