java.lang.Object
  org.joda.beans.impl.direct.DirectFieldsBeanBuilder<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the bean type

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanBuilder<T>

public abstract class DirectFieldsBeanBuilder<T extends Bean>
extends Object
implements BeanBuilder<T>

A builder implementation designed for use by the code generator.

This implementation is intended to have fields generated in the subclass.

DirectFieldsBeanBuilder

protected DirectFieldsBeanBuilder()

Constructs the builder.

set

public BeanBuilder<T> set(MetaProperty<?> metaProperty,
                          Object value)

Description copied from interface: BeanBuilder

Sets the value of a single property into the builder.

This will normally behave as per a Map, however it may not and as a general rule callers should only set each property once.

Specified by:

set in interface BeanBuilder<T extends Bean>

Parameters:

metaProperty - the meta-property, not null

value - the property value, may be null

Returns:

this, for chaining, not null

setString

public BeanBuilder<T> setString(MetaProperty<?> metaProperty,
                                String value)

Description copied from interface: BeanBuilder

Sets the value of a single property into the builder.

This converts the string to the correct type for the property. Conversion uses Joda-Convert.

This will normally behave as per a Map, however it may not and as a general rule callers should only set each property once.

Specified by:

setString in interface BeanBuilder<T extends Bean>

Parameters:

metaProperty - the meta-property name, not null

value - the property value, may be null

Returns:

this, for chaining, not null

setAll

public BeanBuilder<T> setAll(Map<String,? extends Object> propertyValueMap)

Description copied from interface: BeanBuilder

Sets the value of a map of properties into the builder.

Each map entry is used as the input to BeanBuilder.set(String, Object).

This will normally behave as per a Map, however it may not and as a general rule callers should only set each property once.

Specified by:

setAll in interface BeanBuilder<T extends Bean>

Parameters:

propertyValueMap - the property name to value map, not null

Returns:

this, for chaining, not null

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string that summarises the builder.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a summary string, not null
