Class MapPropertyHandler

  org.nuiton.util.decorator.MapPropertyHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.commons.jxpath.DynamicPropertyHandler

public class MapPropertyHandler
extends Object
implements org.apache.commons.jxpath.DynamicPropertyHandler

A extended handler to deal with map in JXPath contexts.

The basic one in JXPath api only deals with map keys as string.

We offers a hook in method getKey(Object) to obtain a string representation of a real object in map (key or value).

More over, you can also access directly to a key or a value, using this syntax :

context.getValue(".[@name='key:programme2']")

context.getValue(".[@name='value:programme2']")

If the values are iterable, then will scan inot it when looking for a direct value.
