Hi Folks,
I'm announcing an API that can convert a java Map to a JavaBean. Before
this, I was creating lots of silly inner classes like this (and I know
I'm not the only JSP developer doing this):
public class EmployeeBean {
public String getName() { ... }
public String getEmail() { ... }
String name;
String email;
// etc
}
I even wrote an emacs function to crank these out for me!
Now you can do this:
Class beanClass = BeanCreator.createClassForProperties(new String[] {
"name", "email" });
Object bean = BeanCreator.createBean(beanClass, theMap);
where theMap contains your property-value mappings.
I looked at DynaClass/DynaBean which I think solves this problem in a
different way. My concern with DynaClass is that standard JavaBeans
tools will not recognize its properties (please correct me if I'm
wrong). BeanCreator takes a different approach, actually generating a
Class at runtime to the JavaBeans specs.
The URL is http://dynclass.sourceforge.net/ and all feedback is welcome.
John
