Class ObjectUtil

java.lang.Object

liquibase.util.ObjectUtil

public class ObjectUtil
extends Object

Various methods that make it easier to read and write object properties using the propertyName, instead of having to look up the correct reader/writer methods manually first. All methods in this class are static by nature.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static <T> T	convert(Object object, Class<T> targetClass) Converts the given object to the targetClass
static <T> T	defaultIfNull(T value, T defaultValue) Return the defaultValue if the passed value is null.
static PropertyDescriptor[]	getDescriptors(Class<?> targetClass)
static Object	getProperty(Object object, String propertyName) For a given object, try to find the appropriate reader method and return the value, if set for the object.
static Class	getPropertyType(Object object, String propertyName) Tried to determine the appropriate reader method for a given propertyName of a given object and, if found, returns the class of its return type.
static boolean	hasProperty(Object object, String propertyName) Examines the given object's class and returns true if reader and writer methods both exist for the given property name.
static boolean	hasReadProperty(Object object, String propertyName) Examines the given object's class and returns true if a reader method exists for the given property name.
static boolean	hasWriteProperty(Object object, String propertyName) Examines the given object's class and returns true if a writer method exists for the given property name.
static void	setProperty(Object object, String propertyName, Object propertyValue) Sets the selected property of the given object to propertyValue.
static void	setProperty(Object object, String propertyName, String propertyValue) Tries to guess the "real" data type of propertyValue by the given propertyName, then sets the selected property of the given object to that value.

Method Detail

getProperty

public static Object getProperty(Object object,
                                 String propertyName)
                          throws UnexpectedLiquibaseException

For a given object, try to find the appropriate reader method and return the value, if set for the object. If the property is currently not set for the object, an UnexpectedLiquibaseException run-time exception occurs.

Parameters:

object - the object to examine

propertyName - the property name for which the value should be read

Returns:

the stored value

Throws:

UnexpectedLiquibaseException

getPropertyType

public static Class getPropertyType(Object object,
                                    String propertyName)

Tried to determine the appropriate reader method for a given propertyName of a given object and, if found, returns the class of its return type.

Parameters:

object - the object to examine

propertyName - the property name whose reading method should be searched

Returns:

the class name of the return type if the reading method is found, null if it is not found.

hasProperty

public static boolean hasProperty(Object object,
                                  String propertyName)

Examines the given object's class and returns true if reader and writer methods both exist for the given property name.

Parameters:

object - the object for which the class should be examined

propertyName - the property name to search

Returns:

true if both reader and writer methods exist

hasReadProperty

public static boolean hasReadProperty(Object object,
                                      String propertyName)

Examines the given object's class and returns true if a reader method exists for the given property name.

Parameters:

object - the object for which the class should be examined

propertyName - the property name to search

Returns:

true if a reader method exists

hasWriteProperty

public static boolean hasWriteProperty(Object object,
                                       String propertyName)

Examines the given object's class and returns true if a writer method exists for the given property name.

Parameters:

object - the object for which the class should be examined

propertyName - the property name to search

Returns:

true if a writer method exists

setProperty

public static void setProperty(Object object,
                               String propertyName,
                               String propertyValue)

Tries to guess the "real" data type of propertyValue by the given propertyName, then sets the selected property of the given object to that value.

Parameters:

object - the object whose property should be set

propertyName - name of the property to set

propertyValue - new value of the property, as String

setProperty

public static void setProperty(Object object,
                               String propertyName,
                               Object propertyValue)

Sets the selected property of the given object to propertyValue. A run-time exception will occur if the type of value is incompatible with the reader/writer method signatures of the given propertyName.

Parameters:

object - the object whose property should be set

propertyName - name of the property to set

propertyValue - new value of the property

convert

public static <T> T convert(Object object,
                            Class<T> targetClass)
                     throws IllegalArgumentException

Converts the given object to the targetClass

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

defaultIfNull

public static <T> T defaultIfNull(T value,
                                  T defaultValue)

Return the defaultValue if the passed value is null. Otherwise, return the original value.

getDescriptors

public static PropertyDescriptor[] getDescriptors(Class<?> targetClass)
                                           throws IntrospectionException

Throws:

IntrospectionException
