Properties are dynamic, and can be added and removed at will from the map.

MapBean

public MapBean()

Creates an instance.

meta

public static DynamicMetaBean meta()

Creates a standalone meta-bean.

This creates a new instance each time in line with dynamic bean principles.

Returns:

the meta-bean, not null

metaBean

public DynamicMetaBean metaBean()

Description copied from interface: DynamicBean

Gets the meta-bean representing the parts of the bean that are common across all instances, such as the set of meta-properties.

Specified by:

metaBean in interface Bean

Specified by:

metaBean in interface DynamicBean

Returns:

the meta-bean, not null

property

public Property<Object> property(String name)

Description copied from interface: DynamicBean

Gets a property by name.

This will not throw an exception if the property name does not exist. Whether a property is immediately created or not is implementation dependent.

Specified by:

property in interface Bean

Specified by:

property in interface DynamicBean

Parameters:

name - 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

propertyDefine

public void propertyDefine(String propertyName,
                           Class<?> propertyType)

Description copied from interface: DynamicBean

Adds a property to those allowed to be stored in the bean.

Some implementations will automatically add properties, in which case this method will have no effect.

Specified by:

propertyDefine in interface DynamicBean

Parameters:

propertyName - the property name to check, not empty, not null

propertyType - the property type, not null

propertyRemove

public void propertyRemove(String propertyName)

Description copied from interface: DynamicBean

Removes a property by name.

Specified by:

propertyRemove in interface DynamicBean

Parameters:

propertyName - the property name to remove, null ignored

clone

public MapBean 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 HashMap<String,Object>

Returns:

the clone, not null

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string that summarises the bean.

The string contains the class name and properties.

Overrides:
