An example of such a fluent API could 036 * look as follows: 037 * </p> 038 * 039 * <pre> 040 * public class FooBuilder { 041 * public FooBuilder setFooProperty1(String value) { 042 * ... 043 * return this; 044 * } 045 * 046 * public FooBuilder setFooProperty2(int value) { 047 * ... 048 * return this; 049 * } 050 * } 051 * </pre> 052 * 053 * <p> 054 * Per default, {@code PropertyUtils} does not detect methods like this because, having a non-<strong>void</strong> return type, they violate the Java Beans 055 * specification. 056 * </p> 057 * <p> 058 * This class is more tolerant with regards to the return type of a set method. It basically iterates over all methods of a class and filters them for a 059 * configurable prefix (the default prefix is {@code set}). It then generates corresponding {@code PropertyDescriptor} objects for the methods found which use 060 * these methods as write methods. 061 * </p> 062 * <p> 063 * An instance of this class is intended to collaborate with a {@link DefaultBeanIntrospector} object. So best results are achieved by adding this instance as 064 * custom {@code BeanIntrospector} after the {@code DefaultBeanIntrospector} object. Then default introspection finds read-only properties because it does not 065 * detect the write methods with a non-<strong>void</strong> return type. {@code FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector} completes the descriptors for these properties 066 * by setting the correct write method. 067 * </p> 068 * 069 * @since 1.9 070 */ 071public class FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector implements BeanIntrospector { 072 /** The default prefix for write methods. */ 073 public static final String DEFAULT_WRITE_METHOD_PREFIX = "set"; 074 075 /** The logger. */ 076 private final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(getClass()); 077 078 /** The prefix of write methods to search for. */ 079 private final String writeMethodPrefix; 080 081 /** 082 * 083 * Creates a new instance of {@code FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector} and sets the default prefix for write methods. 084 */ 085 public FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector() { 086 this(DEFAULT_WRITE_METHOD_PREFIX); 087 } 088 089 /** 090 * 091 * Creates a new instance of {@code FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector} and initializes it with the prefix for write methods used by the classes to be 092 * inspected. 093 * 094 * @param writePrefix the prefix for write methods (must not be <strong>null</strong>) 095 * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the prefix is <strong>null</strong> 096 */ 097 public FluentPropertyBeanIntrospector(final String writePrefix) { 098 writeMethodPrefix = Objects.requireNonNull(writePrefix, "writePrefix"); 099 } 100 101 /** 102 * Creates a property descriptor for a fluent API property. 103 * 104 * @param m the set method for the fluent API property 105 * @param propertyName the name of the corresponding property 106 * @return the descriptor 107 * @throws IntrospectionException if an error occurs 108 */ 109 private PropertyDescriptor createFluentPropertyDescritor(final Method m, final String propertyName) throws IntrospectionException { 110 return new PropertyDescriptor(propertyName(m), null, m); 111 } 112 113 /** 114 * Returns the prefix for write methods this instance scans for. 115 * 116 * @return the prefix for write methods 117 */ 118 public String getWriteMethodPrefix() { 119 return writeMethodPrefix; 120 } 121 122 /** 123 * Performs introspection.
