BeanPopulatorSpi

Nested Class Summary
`static interface`	`BeanPopulatorSpi.Factory` Bean Populator Factory SPI, which is used to create a bean populator which can then be used to determine whether a specific JavaBean property should be propagated from a source bean to a target bean.

Method Summary

Transformable getTransformer()
Returns the transformer used by this bean populator.

BeanPopulatorSpi initBeanPopulationExceptionHandler(BeanPopulationExceptionHandler beanPopulationExceptionHandler)
Used to configure a handler to handle any exception thrown.

BeanPopulatorSpi initBeanPopulatorBaseConfig(BeanPopulatorBaseConfig baseConfig)
Used to conveniently provide all the other configuration options as a single configuration object.

BeanPopulatorSpi initBeanSourceHandler(BeanSourceHandler beanSourceHandler)
Used to configure a call-back (to produce whatever side-effects deemed necessary) that is invoked after the property value has been retrieved from the source bean, but before being propagated across to the target bean.

BeanPopulatorSpi initDebug(boolean debug)
Used to control whether debug messages should be logged.

BeanPopulatorSpi initDetailedPropertyFilter(DetailedPropertyFilter detailedPropertyFilter)

Used to configure a collector to collect the property setter methods of a target JavaBean.

BeanPopulatorSpi initTransformer(Transformable transformer)
Used to configure a transformer to transform a property value read from a source JavaBean into a value to be to set the corresponding property of a target JavaBean.
