 package java.beans;
 
A PropertyDescriptor describes one property that a Java Bean exports via a pair of accessor methods.
 
 public class PropertyDescriptor extends FeatureDescriptor {
 
     private Reference<ClasspropertyTypeRef;
     private Reference<MethodreadMethodRef;
     private Reference<MethodwriteMethodRef;
 
     private boolean bound;
     private boolean constrained;
 
     // The base name of the method name which will be prefixed with the
     // read and write method. If name == "foo" then the baseName is "Foo"
     private String baseName;
 
     private String writeMethodName;
     private String readMethodName;

    
Constructs a PropertyDescriptor for a property that follows the standard Java convention by having getFoo and setFoo accessor methods. Thus if the argument name is "fred", it will assume that the writer method is "setFred" and the reader method is "getFred" (or "isFred" for a boolean property). Note that the property name should start with a lower case character, which will be capitalized in the method names.

Parameters:
propertyName The programmatic name of the property.
beanClass The Class object for the target bean. For example sun.beans.OurButton.class.
Throws:
IntrospectionException if an exception occurs during introspection.
 
     public PropertyDescriptor(String propertyNameClass<?> beanClass)
                 throws IntrospectionException {
         this(propertyNamebeanClass,
              . + NameGenerator.capitalize(propertyName),
              . + NameGenerator.capitalize(propertyName));
     }

    
This constructor takes the name of a simple property, and method names for reading and writing the property.

Parameters:
propertyName The programmatic name of the property.
beanClass The Class object for the target bean. For example sun.beans.OurButton.class.
readMethodName The name of the method used for reading the property value. May be null if the property is write-only.
writeMethodName The name of the method used for writing the property value. May be null if the property is read-only.
Throws:
IntrospectionException if an exception occurs during introspection.
 
     public PropertyDescriptor(String propertyNameClass<?> beanClass,
                 String readMethodNameString writeMethodName)
                 throws IntrospectionException {
         if (beanClass == null) {

This constructor takes the name of a simple property, and Method objects for reading and writing the property.

Parameters:
propertyName The programmatic name of the property.
readMethod The method used for reading the property value. May be null if the property is write-only.
writeMethod The method used for writing the property value. May be null if the property is read-only.
Throws:
IntrospectionException if an exception occurs during introspection.
    public PropertyDescriptor(String propertyNameMethod readMethodMethod writeMethod)
                throws IntrospectionException {
        if (propertyName == null || propertyName.length() == 0) {

        }
        setName(propertyName);
        setReadMethod(readMethod);
        setWriteMethod(writeMethod);
    }

    
Creates PropertyDescriptor for the specified bean with the specified name and methods to read/write the property value.

Parameters:
bean the type of the target bean
base the base name of the property (the rest of the method name)
read the method used for reading the property value

Updates to "bound" properties will cause a "PropertyChange" event to get fired when the property is changed.

Returns:
True if this is a bound property.
    public boolean isBound() {
        return ;
    }

    
Updates to "bound" properties will cause a "PropertyChange" event to get fired when the property is changed.

Parameters:
bound True if this is a bound property.
    public void setBound(boolean bound) {
        this. = bound;
    }

    
Attempted updates to "Constrained" properties will cause a "VetoableChange" event to get fired when the property is changed.

Returns:
True if this is a constrained property.
    public boolean isConstrained() {
        return ;
    }

    
Attempted updates to "Constrained" properties will cause a "VetoableChange" event to get fired when the property is changed.

Parameters:
constrained True if this is a constrained property.
    public void setConstrained(boolean constrained) {
        this. = constrained;
    }


    
Normally PropertyEditors will be found using the PropertyEditorManager. However if for some reason you want to associate a particular PropertyEditor with a given property, then you can do it with this method.

Parameters:
propertyEditorClass The Class for the desired PropertyEditor.
    public void setPropertyEditorClass(Class<?> propertyEditorClass) {
        this. = getWeakReference((Class)propertyEditorClass);
    }

    
Gets any explicit PropertyEditor Class that has been registered for this property.

Returns:
Any explicit PropertyEditor Class that has been registered for this property. Normally this will return "null", indicating that no special editor has been registered, so the PropertyEditorManager should be used to locate a suitable PropertyEditor.
    public Class<?> getPropertyEditorClass() {
        return (this. != null)
                ? this..get()
                : null;
    }

    
Constructs an instance of a property editor using the current property editor class.

If the property editor class has a public constructor that takes an Object argument then it will be invoked using the bean parameter as the argument. Otherwise, the default constructor will be invoked.

Parameters:
bean the source object
Returns:
a property editor instance or null if a property editor has not been defined or cannot be created
Since:
1.5
    public PropertyEditor createPropertyEditor(Object bean) {

        return (PropertyEditor)editor;
