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)

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration to unmarshal, may be null.

Returns:

This request for chaining, never null.

setConfiguration

BeanConfigurationRequest setConfiguration(Object configuration,
                                          String element)

Sets the configuration to unmarshal into the bean. The configuration should be taken from ConfigurationContainer.getConfiguration() or a similar source. If element is not null, child configuration element with the specified name will be unmarshaled.

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration to unmarshal, may be null.
