Class ReflectionAttributeExtractor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, AttributeExtractor
    public class ReflectionAttributeExtractor
extends java.lang.Object
implements AttributeExtractor
    Built-in search attribute extractor driven by method/value dotted expression chains.

    The expression chain must start with one of either "key", "value", or "element". From the starting object a chain of either method calls or field names follows. Method calls and field names can be freely mixed in the chain. Some examples:
    1. "key.getName()" -- call getName() on the key object
    2. "value.person.getAge()" -- get the "person" field of the value object and call getAge() on it
    3. "element.toString()" -- call toString() on the element
    The method and field name portions of the expression are case sensitive
