* In general, the objects that are examined and modified using these
* methods are expected to conform to the property getter and setter method
* naming conventions described in the JavaBeans Specification (Version 1.0.1).
* No data type conversions are performed, and there are no usage of any
* PropertyEditor classes that have been registered, although
* a convenient way to access the registered classes themselves is included.
*
* For the purposes of this class, three formats for referencing a particular * property value of a bean are defined, with the layout of an identifying * String in parentheses: *
name) - The specified
* name identifies an individual property of a particular
* JavaBean. The name of the actual getter or setter method to be used
* is determined using standard JavaBeans instrospection, so that (unless
* overridden by a BeanInfo class, a property named "xyz"
* will have a getter method named getXyz() or (for boolean
* properties only) isXyz(), and a setter method named
* setXyz().name1.name2.name3) The first
* name element is used to select a property getter, as for simple
* references above. The object returned for this property is then
* consulted, using the same approach, for a property getter for a
* property named name2, and so on. The property value that
* is ultimately retrieved or modified is the one identified by the
* last name element.name[index]) - The underlying
* property value is assumed to be an array, or this JavaBean is assumed
* to have indexed property getter and setter methods. The appropriate
* (zero-relative) entry in the array is selected.name1.name2[index].name3 - Various
* forms combining nested and indexed references are also supported.BeanInfo classes). No conversions are performed on the
* actual property values -- it is assumed that the values retrieved from
* the origin bean are assignment-compatible with the types expected by
* the destination bean.
