Deprecated. At some point after Struts 1.0 final, will be replaced by an equivalent class in the Jakarta Commons Beanutils package.

public class PropertyUtils
extends java.lang.Object

Utility methods for using Java Reflection APIs to facilitate generic property getter and setter operations on Java objects. Much of this code was originally included in BeanUtils, but has been separated because of the volume of code involved.

In general, the objects that are examined and modified using these methods are expected to conform to the property getter and setter method naming conventions described in the JavaBeans Specification (Version 1.0.1). No data type conversions are performed, and there are no usage of any PropertyEditor classes that have been registered, although a convenient way to access the registered classes themselves is included.

For the purposes of this class, three formats for referencing a particular property value of a bean are defined, with the layout of an identifying String in parentheses:

Simple (name) - The specified name identifies an individual property of a particular JavaBean. The name of the actual getter or setter method to be used is determined using standard JavaBeans instrospection, so that (unless overridden by a BeanInfo class, a property named "xyz" will have a getter method named getXyz() or (for boolean properties only) isXyz(), and a setter method named setXyz().
Nested (name1.name2.name3) The first name element is used to select a property getter, as for simple references above. The object returned for this property is then consulted, using the same approach, for a property getter for a property named name2, and so on. The property value that is ultimately retrieved or modified is the one identified by the last name element.
Indexed (name[index]) - The underlying property value is assumed to be an array, or this JavaBean is assumed to have indexed property getter and setter methods. The appropriate (zero-relative) entry in the array is selected.
Combined (name1.name2[index].name3- Various forms combining nested and indexed references are also supported.

Deprecated. 
Retrieve the property descriptor for the specified property of the
 specified bean, or return null if there is no such
 descriptor.  This method resolves indexed and nested property
 references in the same manner as other methods in this class, except
 that if the last (or only) name element is indexed, the descriptor
 for the last resolved property itself is returned.

Parameters:

name - Possibly indexed and/or nested name of the property for
  which a property descriptor is requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have
  access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean or
  name is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a nested reference to a
  property returns null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method
  throws an exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if an accessor method for this
  propety cannot be found





getPropertyDescriptors
public static java.beans.PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors(java.lang.Object bean)

Deprecated. 
Retrieve the property descriptors for the specified bean, introspecting
 and caching them the first time a particular bean class is encountered.

Parameters:
bean - Bean for which property descriptors are requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean is null





getPropertyEditorClass
public static java.lang.Class getPropertyEditorClass(java.lang.Object bean,
                                                     java.lang.String name)

Deprecated. 
Return the Java Class repesenting the property editor class that has
 been registered for this property (if any).  This method follows the
 same name resolution rules used by getPropertyDescriptor(),
 so if the last element of a name reference is indexed, the property
 editor for the underlying property's class is returned.
 
 Note that null will be returned if there is no property,
 or if there is no registered property editor class.  Because this
 return value is ambiguous, you should determine the existence of the
 property itself by other means.

Parameters:
bean - Bean for which a property descriptor is requested
name - Possibly indexed and/or nested name of the property for
  which a property descriptor is requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have
  access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean or
  name is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a nested reference to a
  property returns null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method
  throws an exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException - if an accessor method for this
  propety cannot be found

                                              java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException,
                                              java.lang.NoSuchMethodException

Deprecated. 
Return the Java Class representing the property type of the specified
 property, or null if there is no such property for the
 specified bean.  This method follows the same name resolution rules
 used by getPropertyDescriptor(), so if the last element
 of a name reference is indexed, the type of the property itself will
 be returned.  If the last (or only) element has no property with the
 specified name, null is returned.

Parameters:
bean - Bean for which a property descriptor is requested
name - Possibly indexed and/or nested name of the property for
  which a property descriptor is requested
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the caller does not have
  access to the property accessor method
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bean or
  name is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a nested reference to a
  property returns null
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the property accessor method
  throws an exception

  propety cannot be found
