Class Binder<I,O>

java.lang.Object
  org.nuiton.util.beans.Binder<I,O>

Type Parameters:

I - the source bean type

O - the destination bean type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Binder<I,O>
extends Object
implements Serializable

A binder permits to copy some properties from an object to another one.

It is based on a Binder.BinderModel which contains the mapping of properties to transfert from the source object to the destination object.

Use the method copy(Object, Object, String...) to transfert properties.

Use the method obtainProperties(Object, String...) to obtain some properties from a given object.

For more informations about how to obtain a binder, see the BinderFactory or the package info javadoc or unit tests...

Method Detail

getSourceType

public Class<I> getSourceType()

Obtains the type of the source bean.

Returns:

the type of the source bean

getTargetType

public Class<O> getTargetType()

Obtains the type of the target bean.

Returns:

the type of the target bean

obtainProperties

public Map<String,Object> obtainProperties(I source,
                                           String... propertyNames)

Obtain from the given object all properties registred in the binder model.

Note: If a property's value is null, it will not be injected in the result.

Parameters:

source - the bean to read

propertyNames - subset of properties to load

Returns:

the map of properties obtained indexed by their property name, or an empty map is the given from is null.

copy

public void copy(I source,
                 O target,
                 String... propertyNames)

Copy properties from a source bean to a destination one according to the model of the binder. If propertyNames is defined, only those properties will be copied.

Note: If from object is null, then null values will be set to mapped properties into dst

Parameters:

source - the bean to read

target - the bean to write

propertyNames - optional subset of properties to copy (if none is specifed, will use all the properties defined in binder)

Throws:

NullPointerException - if target parameter is null

copyExcluding

public void copyExcluding(I source,
                          O target,
                          String... propertyNames)

Copy properties from a source bean to a destination one according to the model of the binder excluding propertyNames.

Note: If from object is null, then null values will be set to mapped properties into dst.

Parameters:

source - the bean to read

target - the bean to write

propertyNames - optional subset of properties to copy (if none is specifed, will use all the properties defined in binder)

Throws:

NullPointerException - if target parameter is null

copy

protected void copy(I source,
                    O target,
                    boolean excludeProperties,
                    String... propertyNames)
             throws RuntimeException

Copy properties from a source bean to a destination one according to the model of the binder.

Note: If from object is null, then null values will be set to mapped properties into dst.

Parameters:

source - the bean to read

target - the bean to write

excludeProperties - true to exclude following propertyNames

propertyNames - optional subset of properties to copy (if none is specifed, will use all the properties defined in binder)

Throws:

NullPointerException - if target parameter is null

RuntimeException - if a property can not be copied to the target object

getModel

protected Binder.BinderModel<I,O> getModel()

Get the model of the binder.

Returns:

the model of the binder

setModel

protected void setModel(Binder.BinderModel<I,O> model)

Set the model of the binder.

Parameters:

model - the model of the binder

getProperties

protected String[] getProperties(String... propertyNames)

Obtain the properties, if none is given in propertyNames parameter, will use all property names defined in binder's model, otherwise, check that all given property names are safe (registred in binder's model).

Parameters:

propertyNames - optional subset of properties to get

Returns:

the array of property names

getAllPropertiesExclude

protected String[] getAllPropertiesExclude(String... propertyNameExcludes)

Obtains all properties from binder's model except those propertyNameExcludes. Unknown properties will be ignored.

Parameters:

propertyNameExcludes - name of properties to exclude

Returns:

the array of property names without those in argument
