Constructor Details

DynaBeanPointer

public DynaBeanPointer(NodePointer parent,
 QName qName,
 org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean dynaBean)

Constructs a new DynaBeanPointer.

Parameters:

parent - pointer

qName - is the name given to the first node

dynaBean - pointed

DynaBeanPointer

public DynaBeanPointer(QName qName,
 org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean dynaBean,
 Locale locale)

Constructs a new DynaBeanPointer.

Parameters:

qName - is the name given to the first node

dynaBean - pointed

locale - Locale

Method Details

asPath

public String asPath()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns an XPath that maps to this Pointer.

Specified by:

asPath in interface Pointer

Overrides:

asPath in class NodePointer

Returns:

String XPath expression

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getBaseValue

public Object getBaseValue()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Gets the value represented by the pointer before indexing. So, if the node represents an element of a collection, this method returns the collection itself.

Specified by:

getBaseValue in class NodePointer

Returns:

Object value

getImmediateNode

public Object getImmediateNode()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns the object the pointer points to; does not convert it to a "canonical" type.

Overrides:

getImmediateNode in class PropertyOwnerPointer

Returns:

Object node

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

If the pointer represents a collection (or collection element), returns the length of the collection. Otherwise returns 1 (even if the value is null).

Specified by:

getLength in class NodePointer

Returns:

the length.

getName

public QName getName()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Gets the name of this node. Can be null.

Specified by:

getName in class PropertyOwnerPointer

Returns:

QName The name of this node. Can be null.

getPropertyPointer

public PropertyPointer getPropertyPointer()

Description copied from class: PropertyOwnerPointer

Gets a PropertyPointer for this PropertyOwnerPointer.

Specified by:

getPropertyPointer in class PropertyOwnerPointer

Returns:

PropertyPointer

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

isCollection

public boolean isCollection()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

Returns true if the value of the pointer is an array or a Collection.

Specified by:

isCollection in class NodePointer

Returns:

boolean

isLeaf

public boolean isLeaf()

Description copied from class: NodePointer

If true, this node does not have children

Specified by:

isLeaf in class NodePointer

Returns:

boolean
