Method Detail

values

public static PropertyMethodEnum[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (PropertyMethodEnum c : PropertyMethodEnum.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static PropertyMethodEnum valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getReturnType

public Class<?> getReturnType()

Method to get the prototype return type Class for this method type.

Returns:

The return type Class.

getParameterTypes

public Class<?>[] getParameterTypes()

Method to get the prototype parameter types (Classes) for this method type.

Returns:

The parameter types array (of Classes).

getPropertyName

public String getPropertyName(String method)

Method to get the property name from the argument method name.

Parameters:

method - The candidate getter/setter method name.

Returns:

The property name if method name matches the pattern; null if the argument is null or doesn't match.

getPropertyName

public static String getPropertyName(Method method)

Static method to get a property name from a Method name. (This method does not check return type or parameter types.)

Parameters:

method - The Method.

Returns:

The property name if method name matches the pattern; null if the argument is null or the name doesn't match.
