getSpecificTargetClasses

public Class<?>[] getSpecificTargetClasses()

Description copied from interface: PropertyAccessor

Return an array of classes for which this resolver should be called. Returning null indicates this is a general resolver that can be called in an attempt to resolve a property on any type.

Specified by:

getSpecificTargetClasses in interface PropertyAccessor

Returns:

an array of classes that this resolver is suitable for (or null if a general resolver)

canRead

public boolean canRead(EvaluationContext context,
                       Object target,
                       String name)
                throws AccessException

Can read any Environment, thus always returns true.

Specified by:

canRead in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

Returns:

true

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem determining whether the property can be read

read

public TypedValue read(EvaluationContext context,
                       Object target,
                       String name)
                throws AccessException

Access the given target object by resolving the given property name against the given target environment.

Specified by:

read in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

Returns:

a TypedValue object wrapping the property value read and a type descriptor for it

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem accessing the property value

canWrite

public boolean canWrite(EvaluationContext context,
                        Object target,
                        String name)
                 throws AccessException

Read only.

Specified by:

canWrite in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

Returns:

false

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem determining whether the property can be written to

write

public void write(EvaluationContext context,
                  Object target,
                  String name,
                  Object newValue)
           throws AccessException

Read only. No-op.

Specified by:

write in interface PropertyAccessor

Parameters:

context - the evaluation context in which the access is being attempted

target - the target object upon which the property is being accessed

name - the name of the property being accessed

newValue - the new value for the property

Throws:

AccessException - if there is any problem writing to the property value
