Method Detail

getBean

Object getBean()

Gets the bean to configure. Eventually, a valid request must have a bean set.

Returns:

The bean to configure, or null if none.

setBean

BeanConfigurationRequest setBean(Object bean)

Sets the bean to configure. Eventually, a valid request must have a bean set.

Parameters:

bean - The bean to configure, may be null.

Returns:

This request for chaining, never null.

getConfiguration

Object getConfiguration()

Gets the configuration to unmarshal into the bean.

Returns:

The configuration to unmarshal into the bean or null if none.

setConfiguration

BeanConfigurationRequest setConfiguration(Object configuration)

Sets the configuration to unmarshal into the bean. The configuration should be taken from ConfigurationContainer.getConfiguration() or a similar source.

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration to unmarshal, may be null.

Returns:

This request for chaining, never null.

getClassLoader

ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Gets the class loader from which to load any types referenced by the configuration. If unset, the class loader of the bean class will be used.

Returns:

The class loader to load referenced types from or null if unset.

setClassLoader

BeanConfigurationRequest setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

Sets the class loader from which to load any types referenced by the configuration. If unset, the class loader of the bean class will be used.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to load referenced types from, may be null.

Returns:

This request for chaining, never null.

getValuePreprocessor

BeanConfigurationValuePreprocessor getValuePreprocessor()

Gets the optional preprocessor for configuration values.

Returns:

The preprocessor for configuration values or null if none.

setValuePreprocessor

BeanConfigurationRequest setValuePreprocessor(BeanConfigurationValuePreprocessor valuePreprocessor)

Sets the optional preprocessor for configuration values.

Parameters:

valuePreprocessor - The preprocessor for configuration values, may be null if unneeded.

Returns:

This request for chaining, never null.

getPathTranslator

BeanConfigurationPathTranslator getPathTranslator()

Gets the optional path translator for configuration values unmarshalled to files.

Returns:

The path translator for files or null if none.

setPathTranslator

BeanConfigurationRequest setPathTranslator(BeanConfigurationPathTranslator pathTranslator)

Sets the optional path translator for configuration values unmarshalled to files.

Parameters:

pathTranslator - The path translator for files, may be null if unneeded.

Returns:

This request for chaining, never null.
