Interface PropertyDescriptor<S,G>

Type Parameters:

S - the type used when setting the property value

G - the type used when getting the property value, this is typically either S or Optional<S>

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface PropertyDescriptor<S,G> extends Serializable

Describes a component property that has its value stored in some form in the component's element, typically an element property or attribute. The descriptor encapsulates details like default value handling and how to return an optional value so that those settings wouldn't have to be spread out among individual setter and getter implementations in the component's API.

Use the factory methods in PropertyDescriptors to create property descriptor instances.
