Class IntrospectionBeanDef

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.share.xml.beans.BeanDef
      org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.share.xml.beans.IntrospectionBeanDef

public class IntrospectionBeanDef
extends BeanDef

Implementation of BeanDef that uses introspection to identify properties. The classes used by this must have the following properties:

1. Required: the class must be public
2. Required: a public, zero-arg constructor
3. Required: public "setter" methods for each supported property.
4. Optional: public "getter" methods for each supported property.

The methods must be named per standard JavaBean naming conventions. While getter methods are not strictly required, they are recommended as some subclasses of IntrospectionBeanDef do need to get properties after they've been set.
