public class PropertySetter extends Object
General purpose Object property setter. Clients repeatedly invokes setProperty(name,value)
in order to invoke setters on the Object specified in the constructor.
This class relies on the JavaBeans Introspector
to analyze the given Object Class using
reflection.
Usage:
PropertySetter ps = new PropertySetter( anObject ); ps.set( "name", "Joe" ); ps.set( "age", "32" ); ps.set( "isMale", "true" );will cause the invocations anObject.setName("Joe"), anObject.setAge(32), and setMale(true) if such methods exist with those signatures. Otherwise an
IntrospectionException
are thrown.Constructor and Description |

If the setter expects a String no conversion is necessary. If it expects an int, then an attempt is made to convert 'value' to an int using Integer.valueOf(value). If the setter expects a boolean, the conversion is by Boolean.valueOf(value).
