/**
 * 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, five formats for referencing a particular * property value of a bean are defined, with the default layout of an * identifying String in parentheses. However the notation for these formats * and how they are resolved is now (since BeanUtils 1.8.0) controlled by * the configured {@link Resolver} implementation: *

    *
  • 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. List * objects are now also supported for read/write. You simply need to define * a getter that returns the List
  • *
  • Mapped (name(key)) - The JavaBean * is assumed to have an property getter and setter methods with an * additional attribute of type java.lang.String.
  • *
  • Combined (name1.name2[index].name3(key)) - * Combining mapped, nested, and indexed references is also * supported.
