public class SetNextRule extends Rule
Rule implementation that calls a method on the (top-1) (parent) object, passing the top object (child) as an argument. It is commonly used to establish parent-child relationships.
This rule now supports more flexible method matching by default.
It is possible that this may break (some) code
written against release 1.1.1 or earlier.
See isExactMatch()
for more details.

Is exact matching being used.
This rule uses org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils
to introspect the relevant objects so that the right method can be called.
Originally, MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod
was used.
This matches methods very strictly
and so may not find a matching method when one exists.
This is still the behaviour when exact matching is enabled.
When exact matching is disabled, MethodUtils.invokeMethod
is used.
This method finds more methods but is less precise when there are several methods
with correct signatures.
So, if you want to choose an exact signature you might need to enable this property.
The default setting is to disable exact matches.
public void setExactMatch(boolean useExactMatch)
Set whether exact matching is enabled.
See isExactMatch()
.
