Interface GeneratedGroupBean

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, GeneratedBean

public interface GeneratedGroupBean
extends GeneratedBean

An interface that isn't being used yet, but which might be useful in expressing how a generator works.

A GeneratedGroupBean is a GeneratedBean whose generated field values are additionally constrained by the structure of some group to which the bean belongs. These constraints are enforced when the bean is generated or modified. A group bean has additional methods that can be used for implementing generation constraints:

• Set getGroupNames();
• <V> getFieldValue(Class fieldType, String fieldName) throws NoSuchFieldException, GenerationException
• <V> void setFieldValue(Class fieldType, String fieldName, V fieldValue) throws NoSuchFieldException

It is trivial to use introspection to provide a GeneratedBean wrapper around any class that follows the Java bean naming conventions; see the GeneratedBeanWrapper class.
