Method Details

setProperty

public static boolean setProperty(Object o,
 String name,
 String value)

Find a method with the right name If found, call the method ( if param is int or boolean we'll convert value to the right type before) - that means you can have setDebug(1).

Parameters:

o - The object to set a property on

name - The property name

value - The property value

Returns:

true if operation was successful

setProperty

public static boolean setProperty(Object o,
 String name,
 String value,
 boolean invokeSetProperty)

getProperty

public static Object getProperty(Object o,
 String name)

replaceProperties

@Deprecated
public static String replaceProperties(String value,
 Hashtable<Object,Object> staticProp,
 IntrospectionUtils.PropertySource[] dynamicProp)

Deprecated.

Use replaceProperties(String, Hashtable, PropertySource[], ClassLoader)

Replaces ${NAME} in the value with the value of the property 'NAME'. Replaces ${NAME:DEFAULT} with the value of the property 'NAME:DEFAULT', if the property 'NAME:DEFAULT' is not set, the expression is replaced with the value of the property 'NAME', if the property 'NAME' is not set, the expression is replaced with 'DEFAULT'. If the property is not set and there is no default the value will be returned unmodified.

Parameters:

value - The value

staticProp - Replacement properties

dynamicProp - Replacement properties

Returns:

the replacement value

replaceProperties

public static String replaceProperties(String value,
 Hashtable<Object,Object> staticProp,
 IntrospectionUtils.PropertySource[] dynamicProp,
 ClassLoader classLoader)

Replace ${NAME} with the property value.

Parameters:

value - The value

staticProp - Replacement properties

dynamicProp - Replacement properties

classLoader - Class loader associated with the code requesting the property

Returns:

the replacement value

capitalize

public static String capitalize(String name)

Reverse of Introspector.decapitalize.

Parameters:

name - The name

Returns:

the capitalized string

clear

public static void clear()

findMethods

public static Method[] findMethods(Class<?> c)

findMethod

public static Method findMethod(Class<?> c,
 String name,
 Class<?>[] params)

callMethod1

public static Object callMethod1(Object target,
 String methodN,
 Object param1,
 String typeParam1,
 ClassLoader cl)
                          throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

callMethodN

public static Object callMethodN(Object target,
 String methodN,
 Object[] params,
 Class<?>[] typeParams)
                          throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

convert

public static Object convert(String object,
 Class<?> paramType)

isInstance

public static boolean isInstance(Class<?> clazz,
 String type)

Checks to see if the specified class is an instance of or assignable from the specified type. The class clazz, all its superclasses, interfaces and those superinterfaces are tested for a match against the type name type. This is similar to instanceof or Class.isAssignableFrom(java.lang.Class<?>) except that the target type will not be resolved into a Class object, which provides some security and memory benefits.

Parameters:

clazz - The class to test for a match.

type - The name of the type that clazz must be.

Returns:

true if the clazz tested is an instance of the specified type, false otherwise.
