java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.mentawai.filter.OutputFilter
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.mentawai.core.Filter

public class OutputFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.mentawai.core.Filter

A filter that takes all the properties of the action and place them in the output, so that you don't have to call output.setValue() manually.
Note that this filter uses the method action.getClass().getDeclaredMethods() in order to find the getters, in other words, it will only find getters of the base class and not from its superclasses. This is ok because action inheritance is not very common.
For ModelDriven actions, the method action.getModel().getClass().getMethods() is used instead, pretty much like in the OVFilter.
