INTRODUCTION</h3> -<p>The <em>BeanUtils</em> Component contains a set of Java classes that provide -static utility methods useful in manipulating Java classes that conform to the -JavaBeans Specification naming patterns for bean properties in a dynamic -fashion. The following classes are included:</p> -<ul> -<li><strong>BeanUtils</strong> - Higher level getters and setters that deal - with automatic conversion of String-represented property values to the - corresponding data types of the underlying property setters (and vice - versa), using the capabilities of the ConvertUtils and PropertyUtils - classes.</li> -<li><strong>ConvertUtils</strong> - Utility methods to convert String arguments - to native Java types (and vice versa)</li>. -<li><strong>PropertyUtils</strong> - Low level getters and setters for bean - properties that perform no type conversions at all.</li> -</ul> - -<p>An innovative and unique feature of this component is the syntax for -accessing nested and indexed bean properties. See the Javadocs (TODO: link -to online docs) on PropertyUtils for more information about this feature.</p> + <p> + This scope of the <em>Digester</em> component is primarily + oriented to XML -> Java object mapping. + </p> + <p> + A <em>Digester</em> processes an XML input stream by matching a + series of element nesting patterns to execute Rules that have been added + prior to the start of parsing.
