Method Detail

of

@SafeVarargs
public static Reflection.PropertyPath of(Comparable<? extends Serializable>... nodes)

Create a new property path composed of given nodes.

Parameters:

nodes - Nodes of property path.

Returns:

A new property path composed of given nodes.

Throws:

NullPointerException - When one of the nodes is null.

IllegalArgumentException - When one of the nodes is actually not an instance of Serializable.

with

public Reflection.PropertyPath with(Comparable<? extends Serializable> node)

Create a new property path composed of the nodes of the current property path with the given node added. E.g. if the current property path is "person" and the given node is "name", then this returns a new property path representing "person.name". Or, if the current property path is "list" and the given node is "0", then this returns a new property path representing "list[0]". Or, if the current property path is "persons[0]" and the given node is "name", then this returns a new property path representing "persons[0].name"

Parameters:

node - Node to extend the current property path with.

Returns:

A new property path composed of the nodes of the current property path added with the given node.

Throws:

NullPointerException - When node is null.
