    • Method Detail

      • extractPropertyName

        protected String extractPropertyName​(String attributeName)
        Extract a JavaBean property name from the supplied attribute name.

        The default implementation uses the Conventions.attributeNameToPropertyName(String) method to perform the extraction.

        The name returned must obey the standard JavaBean property name conventions. For example for a class with a setter method 'setBingoHallFavourite(String)', the name returned had better be 'bingoHallFavourite' (with that exact casing).

        Parameters:
        attributeName - the attribute name taken straight from the XML element being parsed (never null)
        Returns:
        the extracted JavaBean property name (must never be null)
      • postProcess

        protected void postProcess​(BeanDefinitionBuilder beanDefinition,
                                   Element element)
        Hook method that derived classes can implement to inspect/change a bean definition after parsing is complete.

        The default implementation does nothing.

        Parameters:
        beanDefinition - the parsed (and probably totally defined) bean definition being built
        element - the XML element that was the source of the bean definition's metadata
