Interface DecoratedReflector

All Superinterfaces:

net.sf.composite.Component, Reflector

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayReflector, BaseBeanReflector, BaseCompositeReflector, BaseContainerReflector, BaseReflector, BaseServletReflector, CollectionReflector, ContextReflector, DynaBeanReflector, EnumerationReflector, HttpSessionAttributeReflector, IteratorReflector, ListReflector, MapReflector, ObjectReflector, PageContextAttributeReflector, ReflectorDecorator, ResetableIteratorWrapperReflector, ResultSetReflector, ServletContextAttributeReflector, ServletContextInitParameterReflector, ServletRequestAttributeReflector, ServletRequestParameterReflector, ServletRequestReflector, SetReflector, SimpleDelegatingReflector, SimpleInstantiatingReflector, SortedSetReflector, StringTokenizerReflector, StubbornDelegatingReflector, VelocityContextReflector, VelocityContextReflector

public interface DecoratedReflector
extends Reflector

An extension of the Reflector interface that defines extra methods. All methods specified in this interface can be easily implemented using just the methods in the Reflector interface. Thus, if you are defining your own reflector you should implement only the Reflector interface. If you extend from BaseReflector, your reflector will implement this inteface automatically.

If you don't want to extend from BaseReflector, you can still easily expose this interface by using the ReflectorDecorator.
