Class RegexPropertyResolver

java.lang.Object

ma.glasnost.orika.property.PropertyResolver

ma.glasnost.orika.property.IntrospectorPropertyResolver

ma.glasnost.orika.property.RegexPropertyResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyResolverStrategy

public class RegexPropertyResolver
extends IntrospectorPropertyResolver

RegexPropertyResolver uses regular expressions to find properties based on patterns configured for locating the read and write methods.

The patterns provided should produce a match where group(1) returns the name of the property.
Note that the name will automatically be un-capitalized, so you need not worry about defining your regular expression to handle this.

Only no-argument getter methods returning a type are considered for a read method match, and only single-argument methods are considered for a write method match; the write method need not have a void return type.

The type of the setter method must be a sub-type (or matching type) of the getter method's type; if the getter method is a strict sub-type, then the type of the setter method will define the type of the property.

Example

"read([\w]+)Property" would match a method named 'readMySpecialProperty', and define the name of the corresponding property as 'MySpecial', which will be automatically un-capitalized to 'mySpecial'.
