Annotation Type OutBeanProperty

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
@Documented
public @interface OutBeanProperty

Declares that the bean property that corresponds to the annotated getter will be used as an output bean. The name of the bean will be the name of the property, and the bean class will be the property type.

When an element is processed, the output bean instance will be outjected from element through the getter as invididual output values that correspond to the bean properties. An OutbeanOutjectionException exception will be thrown if the outjection failed.

String	group The validation group that has been declared by the bean class.
String	name The expected name of the property.
String	prefix The prefix that will be prepended to each property name of the output bean when corresponding output names are automatically declared.

name

public abstract String name

The expected name of the property.

This hasn't got any influence on the actual name that is being used for the property, but is used instead to ensure that the property name is the same as the one specified here. This is typically used to create a single point of declaration for the property name that can be referenced elsewhere and that is ensured to be correct.

prefix

public abstract String prefix

The prefix that will be prepended to each property name of the output bean when corresponding output names are automatically declared.

group

public abstract String group

The validation group that has been declared by the bean class.

This requires the bean class to implement the ValidatedConstrained interface, either directly, or by extending MetaData, or by using automated meta data merging.

The group will indicate which bean properties should only be taken into account. Any properties outside the group will not be created as outputs.
