Method Detail

isCollection

public static boolean isCollection(java.lang.Object value)

Returns true if the object is an array or a Collection

---

getCollectionHint

public static int getCollectionHint(java.lang.Class clazz)

Returns 1 if the type is a collection, -1 if it is definitely not and 0 if it may be a collection in some cases.

---

getIndexedPropertyLength

public static int getIndexedPropertyLength(java.lang.Object object,
                                           java.beans.IndexedPropertyDescriptor pd)

If there is a regular non-indexed read method for this property, uses this method to obtain the collection and then returns its length. Otherwise, attempts to guess the length of the collection by calling the indexed get method repeatedly. The method is supposed to throw an exception if the index is out of bounds.

---

getLength

public static int getLength(java.lang.Object collection)

Returns the length of the supplied collection. If the supplied object is not a collection, returns 1. If collection is null, returns 0.

---

iterate

public static java.util.Iterator iterate(java.lang.Object collection)

Returns an iterator for the supplied collection. If the argument is null, returns an empty iterator. If the argument is not a collection, returns an iterator that produces just that one object.

---

expandCollection

public static java.lang.Object expandCollection(java.lang.Object collection,
                                                int size)

Grows the collection if necessary to the specified size. Returns the new, expanded collection.

---

remove

public static java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object collection,
                                      int index)

Returns the index'th element from the supplied collection.

---

getValue

public static java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.Object collection,
                                        int index)

Returns the index'th element of the supplied collection.

---

setValue

public static void setValue(java.lang.Object collection,
                            int index,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Modifies the index'th element of the supplied collection. Converts the value to the required type if necessary.

---

getValue

public static java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.Object bean,

Returns the value of the bean's property represented by the supplied property descriptor.

---

setValue

public static void setValue(java.lang.Object bean,
                            java.beans.PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor,

                                        int index)

Returns the index'th element of the bean's property represented by the supplied property descriptor.

---

setValue

                            java.beans.PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor,
                            int index,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Modifies the index'th element of the bean's property represented by the supplied property descriptor. Converts the value to the required type if necessary.

---

getValue

public static java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.Object object)

If the parameter is a container, opens the container and return the contents. The method is recursive.

---

getDynamicPropertyHandler

public static org.apache.commons.jxpath.DynamicPropertyHandler getDynamicPropertyHandler(java.lang.Class clazz)

---

getAccessibleMethod

public static java.lang.reflect.Method getAccessibleMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method method)

Return an accessible method (that is, one that can be invoked via reflection) that implements the specified Method. If no such method can be found, return null.

---

getAccessibleMethodFromInterfaceNest

private static java.lang.reflect.Method getAccessibleMethodFromInterfaceNest(java.lang.Class clazz,
                                                                             java.lang.String methodName,
