Hi,
now that we have implemented describe() and populate() on
DefaultBeanAccessor, cloneBean() and copyProperties(T target) seem very
easy to implement. I would realize cloneBean() simply like:
public B cloneBean()
throws aLotOfExceptions ;-)
{
@SuppressWarnings( "unchecked" )
B clone = (B) bean.getClass().newInstance();
DefaultBeanAccessor<B> cloneAccessor = new DefaultBeanAccessor<B>(
clone );
cloneAccessor.populate( this.describe() );
return clone;
}
copyProperties() can be implemented likewise. Is that really all we have
to do, or am I missing something? I've looked at BeanUtils1 and they are
handling Maps a little differently by coping all entries. So I guess we
have to do the same (to keep the user experience).
Another thing I was winking about is cast(). I don't understand how that
is supposed to work. Can it be, that there is an input parameter
missing? To make it work it has to be:
public <V> V cast(Class<V> targetType);
Tell me what you think and I'll start implementing the missing methods.
Regards,
Benedikt
