Class SimpleBeanInfo

java.lang.Object
java.beans.SimpleBeanInfo
All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanInfo
public class SimpleBeanInfo extends Object implements BeanInfo
This is a support class to make it easier for people to provide BeanInfo classes.

It defaults to providing "noop" information, and can be selectively overridden to provide more explicit information on chosen topics. When the introspector sees the "noop" values, it will apply low level introspection and design patterns to automatically analyze the target bean.

Since:
1.1

Specified by:
getBeanDescriptor in interface BeanInfo
Returns:
a BeanDescriptor object, or null if the information is to be obtained through the automatic analysis

getPropertyDescriptors

public PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors()
Deny knowledge of properties. You can override this if you wish to provide explicit property info.
Specified by:
getPropertyDescriptors in interface BeanInfo
Returns:
an array of PropertyDescriptor objects, or null if the information is to be obtained through the automatic analysis

getDefaultPropertyIndex

public int getDefaultPropertyIndex()
Deny knowledge of a default property. You can override this if you wish to define a default property for the bean.
Specified by:
getDefaultPropertyIndex in interface BeanInfo
Returns:
index of the default property in the PropertyDescriptor array returned by the getPropertyDescriptors method, or -1 if there is no default property

getEventSetDescriptors

public EventSetDescriptor[] getEventSetDescriptors()
Deny knowledge of event sets. You can override this if you wish to provide explicit event set info.
Specified by:
getEventSetDescriptors in interface BeanInfo
Returns:

getMethodDescriptors in interface BeanInfo
Returns:
an array of MethodDescriptor objects, or null if the information is to be obtained through the automatic analysis

getAdditionalBeanInfo

public BeanInfo[] getAdditionalBeanInfo()
Claim there are no other relevant BeanInfo objects. You may override this if you want to (for example) return a BeanInfo for a base class.
Specified by:
getAdditionalBeanInfo in interface BeanInfo
Returns:
an array of BeanInfo objects, or null if there are no additional BeanInfo objects

getIcon

public Image getIcon(int iconKind)
Claim there are no icons available. You can override this if you want to provide icons for your bean.
Specified by:
getIcon in interface BeanInfo
