Class ProxyDescriptor

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.navel.beans.ProxyDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.ObjectInputValidation, java.io.Serializable

public class ProxyDescriptor
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.io.ObjectInputValidation

Collects the introspection and reflection data for the proxy in one place, where it can be safely shared. Also tucks away the serialization problems with introspection data which is not serializable. Despite the transient members that cannot be flagged as final, this class should be considered effectively immutable.

Method Detail

setToStringTemplate

public static void setToStringTemplate(java.lang.String toStringTemplate)

Allows callers to specify their own template for use with String.format(String, Object...) which excepts two arguments.

1. primary type
2. additional types, a Collection.toString() call

Parameters:

toStringTemplate - Custom format template.

resetToStringTemplate

public static void resetToStringTemplate()

Restore the default format template for toString().

getPrimaryType

public java.lang.Class<?> getPrimaryType()

Returns:

the primaryType

getProxiedInterfaces

public java.util.Set<java.lang.Class<?>> getProxiedInterfaces()

Returns:

the proxiedInterfaces

getPropertyDescriptors

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.beans.PropertyDescriptor> getPropertyDescriptors()

Returns:

The PropertyDescriptor values for all of the proxy's interfaces keyed by each property's name. The map returned is not modifiable and will throw an exception if an alteration is attempted.

validateObject

public void validateObject()
                    throws java.io.InvalidObjectException

Used during de-serialization to restore the non serializable instrospection metadata from the JavaBeans API.
