Class SetTopRule
Rule implementation that calls a "set parent" method on the top (child) object, passing the (top-1) (parent) object as an argument.
This rule now supports more flexible method matching by default.
It is possible that this may break (some) code
written against release 1.1.1 or earlier.
See isExactMatch()
for more details.

SetTopRule
Deprecated.The digester instance is now set in theDigester.addRule(java.lang.String, org.apache.commons.digester.Rule)
method. UseSetTopRule(String methodName)
instead.Construct a "set parent" rule with the specified method name. The "set parent" method's argument type is assumed to be the class of the parent object.- Parameters:
digester
- The associated DigestermethodName
- Method name of the "set parent" method to call
-

digester
- The associated DigestermethodName
- Method name of the "set parent" method to callparamType
- Java class of the "set parent" method's argument (if you wish to use a primitive type, specify the corresonding Java wrapper class instead, such asjava.lang.Boolean
for aboolean
parameter)

Method Details

isExactMatch
Is exact matching being used.
This rule uses
org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils
to introspect the relevent objects so that the right method can be called. Originally,MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod
was used. This matches methods very strictly and so may not find a matching method when one exists. This is still the behaviour when exact matching is enabled.When exact matching is disabled,
MethodUtils.invokeMethod
is used. This method finds more methods but is less precise when there are several methods with correct signatures. So, if you want to choose an exact signature you might need to enable this property.The default setting is to disable exact matches.
- Returns:
- true iff exact matching is enabled
- Since:
- Digester Release 1.1.1
-
setExactMatch
Set whether exact matching is enabled.
See
isExactMatch()
.- Parameters:
useExactMatch
- should this rule use exact method matching- Since:
- Digester Release 1.1.1
