implements the Property
interface and defines behavior for a property of a Java class.
These properties have modifiers, types, and names, as well
as a value.
Binding
This base implementation of Property
defines the common
functionality for all Property
implementations, removing
a need for them to duplicate code for this functionality. All
implementations of Property
should extend this class
rather than directly implementing the Property
interface.

public void setAccessModifier(int accessModifier)
This will set the access level modifier for a property. The
value submitted must be in the form of an int
,
which should correspond to one of the constants defined
(
,
Property.ACCESS_PRIVATE
,
or Property.ACCESS_PROTECTED
. By default,
all properties will be Property.ACCESS_PUBLIC
private
(ACCESS_PRIVATE
).

This will return the access level modifier for a property. The
value returned will be in the form of an int

which will correspond to one of the constants defined

's access modifier. For

public void setDefaultValue(java.lang.Object defaultValue)
This will set the default value of the property. Since no typing
is available at this point, a simple Java Object
is allowed as the type supplied. As a result, any errors in
mismatches between object type and allowed paramater type will
occur at runtime, when class generation takes place. Supplying
a value here essentially results in:
public class Foo {
private String myString = "some default value";
public String getMyString() {
return myString;
}
public void setMyString(String myString) {
this.myString = myString;
}
// Other methods and properties
}
Also, note that data binding users who supply their own class implementations will LOSE THIS DEFAULT VALUE, as the interface alone cannot specify a default value. So use this carefully!
