Class DirectBean

java.lang.Object
  org.joda.beans.impl.direct.DirectBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

Bean

public abstract class DirectBean
extends Object
implements Bean

A bean implementation designed for use by the code generator.

It used to be mandatory for code generated beans to extend this class. Now, beans can simply implement the Bean interface.

DirectBean

public DirectBean()

property

public <R> Property<R> property(String propertyName)

Description copied from interface: Bean

Gets a property by name.

The base interface throws an exception if the name is not recognised. By contrast, the DynamicBean subinterface creates the property on demand.

Specified by:

property in interface Bean

Type Parameters:

R - the property type, optional, enabling auto-casting

Parameters:

propertyName - the property name to retrieve, not null

Returns:

the property, not null

propertyNames

public Set<String> propertyNames()

Description copied from interface: Bean

Gets the set of property names.

Specified by:

propertyNames in interface Bean

Returns:

the unmodifiable map of property objects, not null

clone

public abstract DirectBean clone()

Description copied from interface: Bean

Clones this bean, returning an independent copy.

Implementations should covariantly return their own type.

Specified by:

clone in interface Bean

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

the clone, not null
