Classes in org.springframework.beans used by org.springframework.beans

Class and Description

AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.PropertyHandler A handler for a specific property.
AbstractNestablePropertyAccessor.PropertyTokenHolder Holder class used to store property tokens.
AbstractPropertyAccessor Abstract implementation of the PropertyAccessor interface.
BeanInfoFactory Strategy interface for creating BeanInfo instances for Spring beans.
BeanInstantiationException Exception thrown when instantiation of a bean failed.
BeanMetadataAttribute Holder for a key-value style attribute that is part of a bean definition.
BeanMetadataAttributeAccessor Extension of AttributeAccessorSupport, holding attributes as BeanMetadataAttribute objects in order to keep track of the definition source.

FatalBeanException Thrown on an unrecoverable problem encountered in the beans packages or sub-packages, e.g.
InvalidPropertyException Exception thrown when referring to an invalid bean property.
MutablePropertyValues The default implementation of the PropertyValues interface.
NotWritablePropertyException Exception thrown on an attempt to set the value of a property that is not writable (typically because there is no setter method).

PropertyAccessor Common interface for classes that can access named properties (such as bean properties of an object or fields in an object) Serves as base interface for BeanWrapper.
PropertyEditorRegistry Encapsulates methods for registering JavaBeans PropertyEditors.
PropertyEditorRegistrySupport Base implementation of the PropertyEditorRegistry interface.
PropertyMatches Helper class for calculating property matches, according to a configurable distance.
PropertyValue Object to hold information and value for an individual bean property.
