- public class BCReflectiveIntrospector
- extends ReflectiveIntrospector
Backward Compatible reflective introspector. This Introspector
uses Java Reflection to translate java object to/from abstract
descriptors as the ReflectiveIntrospector
does, but
it assumes the accessors methods for aggregate slots to be in the
"old JADE style" i.e.
For every aggregate slot named XXX
,
with elements of type T
, the Java class must have
two accessible methods, with the following signature:
-
Iterator getAllXXX()
-
void addXXX(T t)
