public interface BeanIntrospector
Definition of an interface for components that can perform introspection on bean classes.
Before PropertyUtils can be used for interaction with a specific Java
class, the class's properties have to be determined. This is called
introspection and is initiated automatically on demand.
PropertyUtils does not perform introspection on its own, but
delegates this task to one or more objects implementing this interface. This
makes it possible to customize introspection which may be useful for certain
code bases using non-standard conventions for accessing properties.
