Method Detail

• @java.lang.Deprecated
  abstract GrailsDomainClass getBeanClass()

  deprecated:

  use getEntity

  Returns:

  the GORM domain type of `beanType`. This will be null if `beanType` is not a domain class.

• abstract java.util.List<java.lang.Class> getBeanSuperclasses()

  Returns:

  all superclasses and interfaces of `beanType` excluding `Object`, `Serializable`, `Comparable` and `Cloneable`.

• abstract java.lang.Class getBeanType()

  Returns:

  the type of the object that owns the property at the end of the path, e.g. for a `address.home.street` then the type of `home` is returned.

• abstract Constrained getConstraints()

  Returns:

  the constraints of the property at the end of the path, e.g. for `address.home.street` then the constraints of `street` are returned. This will be null for non-domain properties.

• abstract java.lang.String getDefaultLabel()

  Returns:

  default label text for the property at the end of the path.

• abstract PersistentProperty getDomainProperty()

  Returns:

  the GORM persistent property descriptor for the property at the end of the path, e.g. for `address.home.street` then the descriptor of `street` is returned. This will be null for non-domain properties.

• abstract PersistentEntity getEntity()

  Returns:

  the GORM domain type of `beanType`. This will be null if `beanType` is not a domain class.

• abstract java.util.List<FieldError> getErrors()

  Returns:

  the resolved messages for any validation errors present on the property at the end of the path. This will be an empty list if there are no errors or the property is not a validateable type.

• abstract java.util.List<java.lang.String> getLabelKeys()

  Returns:

  the i18n keys used to resolve a label for the property at the end of the path in order of preference.

• abstract java.lang.String getPathFromRoot()

  Returns:

  the full path from the root bean to the requested property.

• abstract java.lang.String getPropertyName()

  Returns:

  the name of the property at the end of the path, e.g. for `address.home.street`, `street` is returned.

• abstract java.lang.Class getPropertyType()

  Returns:

  the type of the property at the end of the path, e.g. for `address.home.street` then the type of `street` is returned.

• abstract java.util.List<java.lang.Class> getPropertyTypeSuperclasses()

  Returns:

  all superclasses and interfaces of `propertyType` excluding `Object`, `Serializable`, `Comparable` and `Cloneable`.

• abstract java.lang.Object getRootBean()

  Returns:

  the object at the root of a path expression, e.g. for a `person` bean and `address.street` then `person` is returned.

• abstract java.lang.Class getRootBeanType()

  Returns:

  the type of the object at the root of a path expression, e.g. for a `person` bean and `address.street` then the type of `person` is returned.

• abstract java.lang.Object getValue()

  Returns:

  the value of the property at the end of the path, e.g. for `address.home.street` then the value of `street` is returned.

• abstract boolean isInvalid()

  Returns:

  whether or not the property has any validation errors (i.e. `getErrors` will return a non-empty list). This will always be false for non-validateable types.

• abstract boolean isRequired()

  Returns:

  whether or not the property is required as determined by constraints. This will always be false for non-validateable types.
