public class: IndexedPropertyDescriptor [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   java.beans.FeatureDescriptor
      java.beans.PropertyDescriptor
         java.beans.IndexedPropertyDescriptor
An IndexedPropertyDescriptor describes a property that acts like an array and has an indexed read and/or indexed write method to access specific elements of the array.

An indexed property may also provide simple non-indexed read and write methods. If these are present, they read and write arrays of the type returned by the indexed read method.
Constructor:
 IndexedPropertyDescriptor(IndexedPropertyDescriptor old) 
 public IndexedPropertyDescriptor(String propertyName,
    Class<?> beanClass) throws IntrospectionException 
    This constructor constructs an IndexedPropertyDescriptor for a property that follows the standard Java conventions by having getFoo and setFoo accessor methods, for both indexed access and array access.

    Thus if the argument name is "fred", it will assume that there is an indexed reader method "getFred", a non-indexed (array) reader method also called "getFred", an indexed writer method "setFred", and finally a non-indexed writer method "setFred".

    Parameters:
    propertyName - The programmatic name of the property.
    beanClass - The Class object for the target bean.
    Throws:
    IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.
    exception: IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.
 IndexedPropertyDescriptor(PropertyDescriptor x,
    PropertyDescriptor y) 
    Package-private constructor. Merge two property descriptors. Where they conflict, give the second argument (y) priority over the first argumnnt (x).
    Parameters:
    x - The first (lower priority) PropertyDescriptor
    y - The second (higher priority) PropertyDescriptor
 public IndexedPropertyDescriptor(String propertyName,
    Method readMethod,
    Method writeMethod,
    Method indexedReadMethod,
    Method indexedWriteMethod) throws IntrospectionException 
    This constructor takes the name of a simple property, and Method objects for reading and writing the property.
    Parameters:
    propertyName - The programmatic name of the property.
    readMethod - The method used for reading the property values as an array. May be null if the property is write-only or must be indexed.
    writeMethod - The method used for writing the property values as an array. May be null if the property is read-only or must be indexed.
    indexedReadMethod - The method used for reading an indexed property value. May be null if the property is write-only.
    indexedWriteMethod - The method used for writing an indexed property value. May be null if the property is read-only.
    Throws:
    IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.
    exception: IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.
 public IndexedPropertyDescriptor(String propertyName,
    Class<?> beanClass,
    String readMethodName,
    String writeMethodName,
    String indexedReadMethodName,
    String indexedWriteMethodName) throws IntrospectionException 
    This constructor takes the name of a simple property, and method names for reading and writing the property, both indexed and non-indexed.
    Parameters:
    propertyName - The programmatic name of the property.
    beanClass - The Class object for the target bean.
    readMethodName - The name of the method used for reading the property values as an array. May be null if the property is write-only or must be indexed.
    writeMethodName - The name of the method used for writing the property values as an array. May be null if the property is read-only or must be indexed.
    indexedReadMethodName - The name of the method used for reading an indexed property value. May be null if the property is write-only.
    indexedWriteMethodName - The name of the method used for writing an indexed property value. May be null if the property is read-only.
    Throws:
    IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.
    exception: IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection.
 IndexedPropertyDescriptor(Class<?> bean,
    String base,
    Method read,
    Method write,
    Method readIndexed,
    Method writeIndexed) throws IntrospectionException 
    Creates PropertyDescriptor for the specified bean with the specified name and methods to read/write the property value.
    Parameters:
    bean - the type of the target bean
    base - the base name of the property (the rest of the method name)
    read - the method used for reading the property value
    write - the method used for writing the property value
    readIndexed - the method used for reading an indexed property value
    writeIndexed - the method used for writing an indexed property value
    Throws:
    IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection
    exception: IntrospectionException - if an exception occurs during introspection

Method from java.beans.IndexedPropertyDescriptor Detail:
  void appendTo(StringBuilder sb) 
 public boolean equals(Object obj) 
    Compares this PropertyDescriptor against the specified object. Returns true if the objects are the same. Two PropertyDescriptors are the same if the read, write, property types, property editor and flags are equivalent.
 public synchronized Class<?> getIndexedPropertyType() 
    Returns the Java type info for the indexed property. Note that the {@code Class} object may describe primitive Java types such as {@code int}. This type is returned by the indexed read method or is used as the parameter type of the indexed write method.
 public synchronized Method getIndexedReadMethod() 
    Gets the method that should be used to read an indexed property value.
 public synchronized Method getIndexedWriteMethod() 
    Gets the method that should be used to write an indexed property value.
 public int hashCode() 
 public synchronized  void setIndexedReadMethod(Method readMethod) throws IntrospectionException 
    Sets the method that should be used to read an indexed property value.
 public synchronized  void setIndexedWriteMethod(Method writeMethod) throws IntrospectionException 
    Sets the method that should be used to write an indexed property value.
