Class PropertyAccessorFactory

  org.databene.commons.bean.PropertyAccessorFactory

public class PropertyAccessorFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Creates PropertyAccessors that are as efficient as possible depending on the information provided. The fastest accessors are available when the bean class is provided with the property name. property names may express navigation over refering JavaBean entities, e.g. 'category.name'. A PropertyAccessor in a non-strict mode converts the invocation argument to the correct property type and behaves quietly, if it doesn not find the specified property
