Constructor Detail

MvelObjectMapping

public MvelObjectMapping(java.lang.String getter,
                         java.lang.String setter)

Default constructor taking the 'getter' MVEL expression and the 'setter' MVEL expression. This is a fail-fast call, so if the getter or setter MVEL expressions are "invalid," then an unchecked exception (ConfigurationException) will be thrown.

Parameters:

getter - The 'getter' OGNL expression.

setter - The 'setter' OGNL expression.

Method Detail

map

public void map(java.lang.Object fromBean,
                java.lang.Object toBean)

Maps a property from the fromBean to the toBean using the configured OGNL getter/setter expressions. If the objects can't accept the OGNL expressions, an unchecked ConfigurationException is thrown.

Parameters:

fromBean - The object to copy the property from (the source).

toBean - The object to copy the property to (the destination).

getGetter

public java.lang.String getGetter()

Retrieves the 'getter' MVEL expression that this mapper is configured to use.

Returns:

Returns the 'getter' MVEL expression.

getSetter

public java.lang.String getSetter()

Retrieves the 'setter' MVEL expression that this mapper is configured to use.

Returns:

Returns the 'setter' MVEL expression.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

The hash code is based upon the 'setter' MVEL expression.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

Returns the hash code for this mapper.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Equality is based upon the 'setter' MVEL expression (not the 'getter' expression).

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - The mapper to compare to

Returns:

Returns true only if the 'setter' MVEL expressions are identical (meaning the Strings are equal).
