Constructor Detail

BeanDefinitionParser

public BeanDefinitionParser(Class type)

Method Detail

getBeanClass

protected Class getBeanClass(Element element)

Overrides:

getBeanClass in class AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser

isEligibleAttribute

protected boolean isEligibleAttribute(String attributeName)

doParse

protected final void doParse(Element element,
                             BeanDefinitionBuilder builder)

Parse the supplied Element and populate the supplied BeanDefinitionBuilder as required.

This implementation maps any attributes present on the supplied element to PropertyValue instances, and adds them to the builder.

The extractPropertyName(String) method is used to reconcile the name of an attribute with the name of a JavaBean property.

Overrides:

doParse in class AbstractSingleBeanDefinitionParser

Parameters:

element - the XML element being parsed

builder - used to define the BeanDefinition

See Also:

extractPropertyName(String)

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
