Interface BeanConfigurator

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultBeanConfigurator

public interface BeanConfigurator

Unmarshals some textual configuration from the POM or similar into the properties of a bean. This component works similar to the way Maven configures plugins from the POM, i.e. some configuration like <param>value</param> is mapped to an equally named property of the bean and converted. The properties of the bean are supposed to either have a public setter or be backed by an equally named field (of any visibility).
