Class BasicProperty<P>

java.lang.Object
  org.joda.beans.impl.BasicProperty<P>

Type Parameters:

P - the type of the property content

All Implemented Interfaces:

Property<P>

public final class BasicProperty<P>
extends Object
implements Property<P>

A property that binds a Bean to a MetaProperty.

This is the standard implementation of a property. It defers the strategy of getting and setting the value to the meta-property.

This implementation is also a map entry to aid performance in maps.

of

public static <P> BasicProperty<P> of(Bean bean,
                                      MetaProperty<P> metaProperty)

Factory to create a property avoiding duplicate generics.

Type Parameters:

P - the property type

Parameters:

bean - the bean that the property is bound to, not null

metaProperty - the meta property, not null

Returns:

the property, not null

bean

public <B extends Bean> B bean()

Description copied from interface: Property

Gets the bean which owns this property.

Each property is fully owned by a single bean.

Specified by:

bean in interface Property<P>

Type Parameters:

B - the bean type

Returns:

the bean, not null

metaProperty

public MetaProperty<P> metaProperty()

Description copied from interface: Property

Gets the meta-property representing the parts of the property that are common across all instances, such as the name.

Specified by:

metaProperty in interface Property<P>

Returns:

the meta-property, not null

name

public String name()

Description copied from interface: Property

Gets the property name.

The JavaBean style methods getFoo() and setFoo() will lead to a property name of 'foo' and so on.

Specified by:

name in interface Property<P>

Returns:

the name of the property, not empty

get

public P get()

Description copied from interface: Property

Gets the value of the property for the associated bean.

For a JavaBean, this is the equivalent to calling getFoo() on the bean itself. Alternate implementations may perform any logic to obtain the value.

Specified by:

get in interface Property<P>

Returns:

the value of the property on the bound bean, may be null

set

public void set(Object value)

Description copied from interface: Property

Sets the value of the property on the associated bean.

The value must be of the correct type for the property. See the meta-property for string conversion. For a standard JavaBean, this is equivalent to calling setFoo() on the bean. Alternate implementations may perform any logic to change the value.

Specified by:

set in interface Property<P>

Parameters:

value - the value to set into the property on the bean

put

public P put(Object value)

Description copied from interface: Property

Sets the value of the property on the associated bean and returns the previous value.

This is a combination of the get and set methods that matches the definition of put in a Map.

Specified by:

put in interface Property<P>

Parameters:

value - the value to set into the property on the bean

Returns:

the old value of the property, may be null

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from interface: Property

Checks if this property equals another.

This compares the meta-property and value. It does not consider the property or bean types.

Specified by:

equals in interface Property<P>

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the other property, null returns false

Returns:

true if equal

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from interface: Property

Returns a suitable hash code.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Property<P>

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the hash code

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string that summarises the property.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a summary string, not null
