java.lang.Objectjavax.el.ELResolver
javax.el.BeanELResolver
public class BeanELResolver
Defines property resolution behavior on objects using the JavaBeans component architecture.
This resolver handles base objects of any type, as long as the
base is not null. It accepts any object as a property, and
coerces it to a string. That string is then used to find a JavaBeans
compliant property on the base object. The value is accessed using
JavaBeans getters and setters.
This resolver can be constructed in read-only mode, which means that
isReadOnly will always return true and
setValue(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) will always throw
PropertyNotWritableException.
ELResolvers are combined together using
CompositeELResolvers, to define rich semantics for evaluating
an expression. See the javadocs for ELResolver for details.
Because this resolver handles base objects of any type, it should be placed near the end of a composite resolver. Otherwise, it will claim to have resolved a property before any resolvers that come after it get a chance to test if they can do so as well.

public Class<?> getType(ELContext context,
Object base,
Object property)
null, returns the most
general acceptable type that can be set on this bean property.
If the base is not null, the
propertyResolved property of the ELContext
object must be set to true by this resolver, before
returning. If this property is not true after this
method is called, the caller should ignore the return value.
The provided property will first be coerced to a String.
If there is a BeanInfoProperty for this property and
there were no errors retrieving it, the propertyType of
the propertyDescriptor is returned. Otherwise, a
PropertyNotFoundException is thrown.
getType in class ELResolvercontext - The context of this evaluation.base - The bean to analyze.property - The name of the property to analyze. Will be coerced to
a String.
propertyResolved property of
ELContext was set to true, then
the most general acceptable type; otherwise undefined.
NullPointerException - if context is null
PropertyNotFoundException - if base is not
null and the specified property does not exist
or is not readable.
ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing
the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception
must be included as the cause property of this exception, if
available.
public Object getValue(ELContext context,
Object base,
Object property)
null, returns the current
value of the given property on this bean.
If the base is not null, the
propertyResolved property of the ELContext
object must be set to true by this resolver, before
returning. If this property is not true after this
method is called, the caller should ignore the return value.
The provided property name will first be coerced to a
String. If the property is a readable property of the
base object, as per the JavaBeans specification, then return the
result of the getter call. If the getter throws an exception,
it is propagated to the caller. If the property is not found or is
not readable, a PropertyNotFoundException is thrown.
getValue in class ELResolvercontext - The context of this evaluation.base - The bean on which to get the property.property - The name of the property to get. Will be coerced to
a String.
propertyResolved property of
ELContext was set to true, then
the value of the given property. Otherwise, undefined.
NullPointerException - if context is null.
PropertyNotFoundException - if base is not
null and the specified property does not exist
or is not readable.
ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing
the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception
must be included as the cause property of this exception, if
available.
public void setValue(ELContext context,
Object base,
Object property,
Object val)
null, attempts to set the
value of the given property on this bean.
If the base is not null, the
propertyResolved property of the ELContext
object must be set to true by this resolver, before
returning. If this property is not true after this
method is called, the caller can safely assume no value was set.
If this resolver was constructed in read-only mode, this method will
always throw PropertyNotWritableException.
The provided property name will first be coerced to a
String. If property is a writable property of
base (as per the JavaBeans Specification), the setter
method is called (passing value). If the property exists
but does not have a setter, then a
PropertyNotFoundException is thrown. If the property
does not exist, a PropertyNotFoundException is thrown.
setValue in class ELResolvercontext - The context of this evaluation.base - The bean on which to set the property.property - The name of the property to set. Will be coerced to
a String.val - The value to be associated with the specified key.
NullPointerException - if context is null.
PropertyNotFoundException - if base is not
null and the specified property does not exist.
PropertyNotWritableException - if this resolver was constructed
in read-only mode, or if there is no setter for the property.
ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing
the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception
must be included as the cause property of this exception, if
available.
public boolean isReadOnly(ELContext context,
Object base,
Object property)
null, returns whether a call
to setValue(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) will always fail.
If the base is not null, the
propertyResolved property of the ELContext
object must be set to true by this resolver, before
returning. If this property is not true after this
method is called, the caller can safely assume no value was set.
If this resolver was constructed in read-only mode, this method will
always return true.
The provided property name will first be coerced to a
String. If property is a writable property of
base, false is returned. If the property is
found but is not writable, true is returned. If the
property is not found, a PropertyNotFoundException
is thrown.
isReadOnly in class ELResolvercontext - The context of this evaluation.base - The bean to analyze.property - The name of the property to analyzed. Will be coerced to
a String.
propertyResolved property of
ELContext was set to true, then
true if calling the setValue method
will always fail or false if it is possible that
such a call may succeed; otherwise undefined.
NullPointerException - if context is null
PropertyNotFoundException - if base is not
null and the specified property does not exist.
ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing
the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception
must be included as the cause property of this exception, if
available.
public Iterator<FeatureDescriptor> getFeatureDescriptors(ELContext context,
Object base)
null, returns an
Iterator containing the set of JavaBeans properties
available on the given object. Otherwise, returns null.
The Iterator returned must contain zero or more
instances of FeatureDescriptor. Each info object
contains information about a property in the bean, as obtained by
calling the BeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors method.
The FeatureDescriptor is initialized using the same
fields as are present in the PropertyDescriptor,
with the additional required named attributes "type" and
"resolvableAtDesignTime" set as follows:
ELResolver.TYPE - The runtime type of the property, from
PropertyDescriptor.getPropertyType().ELResolver.RESOLVABLE_AT_DESIGN_TIME - true.
getFeatureDescriptors in class ELResolvercontext - The context of this evaluation.base - The bean to analyze.
Iterator containing zero or more
FeatureDescriptor objects, each representing a property
on this bean, or null if the base
object is null.FeatureDescriptor
public Class<?> getCommonPropertyType(ELContext context,
Object base)
null, returns the most
general type that this resolver accepts for the
property argument. Otherwise, returns null.
Assuming the base is not null, this method will always
return Object.class. This is because any object is
accepted as a key and is coerced into a string.
getCommonPropertyType in class ELResolvercontext - The context of this evaluation.base - The bean to analyze.
null if base is null; otherwise
Object.class.
