Class BeanDelegator

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.shindig.protocol.conversion.BeanDelegator

public class BeanDelegator
extends Object

Class to create a delegator (proxy) from an interface to a class. It is used by the GadgetHandler to provide easy separation from interface to actual implementation classes. It uses Java reflection which require the usage of interfaces. The validate function should be used in the test code to validate that all API functions are implemented by the actual data, and it will warn us if actual implementation change and break the API. Delegation support composition, and will create a proxy for fields according To table of classes to proxy.

Since:

2.0.0
