Method Detail

get

public Object get(EventBean eventBean)
           throws PropertyAccessException
Description copied from interface: EventPropertyGetter
Return the value for the property in the event object specified when the instance was obtained. Useful for fast access to event properties. Throws a PropertyAccessException if the getter instance doesn't match the EventType it was obtained from, and to indicate other property access problems.

Specified by:
get in interface EventPropertyGetter
Parameters:
eventBean - is the event to get the value of a property from
Returns:
value of property in event
Throws:
PropertyAccessException - to indicate that property access failed

isExistsProperty

public boolean isExistsProperty(EventBean eventBean)
Description copied from interface: EventPropertyGetter
Returns true if the property exists, or false if the type does not have such a property.

Useful for dynamic properties of the syntax "property?" and the dynamic nested/indexed/mapped versions. Dynamic nested properties follow the syntax "property?.nested" which is equivalent to "property?.nested?". If any of the properties in the path of a dynamic nested property return null, the dynamic nested property does not exists and the method returns false.

For non-dynamic properties, this method always returns true since a getter would not be available unless

Specified by:
isExistsProperty in interface EventPropertyGetter
Parameters:
eventBean - is the event to check if the dynamic property exists
Returns:
indictor whether the property exists, always true for non-dynamic (default) properties
