public BeanAsAnnotation(java.lang.Object bean)
                 throws java.beans.IntrospectionException

Method Detail

getProperties

protected final java.util.Map getProperties()

Description copied from class: AbstractAnnotation

Implement this to return the Map delegate. Modifying this return value will modify the properties associated with this annotation. From code in the 1.2 version of AbstractAnnotation This is required for the implementation of an Annotation that extends AbstractAnnotation. Where possible implementations should be backed with a LinkedHashMap or similar so properties are iterated in the order they were added.

Specified by:

getProperties in class AbstractAnnotation

Returns:

a Map containing all properties

propertiesAllocated

protected final boolean propertiesAllocated()

Description copied from class: AbstractAnnotation

A convenience method to see if we have allocated the properties Map. This is required for the implementation of an Annotation that extends AbstractAnnotation.

Specified by:

propertiesAllocated in class AbstractAnnotation

Returns:

true if the properties have been allocated, false otherwise
