Method Summary

void	takeValueForKeyPath(java.lang.Object aValue, java.lang.String aKeyPath) Sets the value for the specified key path, which is a series of keys delimited by ".", for example: "createTime.year.length".
void	takeValuesFromDictionary(java.util.Map aMap) Takes the keys from the specified map as properties and applies the corresponding values, each of which might be set by calling takeValueForKey.
java.lang.Object	valueForKeyPath(java.lang.String aKeyPath) Returns the value for the specified key path, which is a series of keys delimited by ".", for example: "createTime.year.length".
NSDictionary	valuesForKeys(java.util.List aKeyList) Returns a Map of the specified keys to their values, each of which might be obtained by calling valueForKey.

Method Detail

valueForKeyPath

java.lang.Object valueForKeyPath(java.lang.String aKeyPath)

Returns the value for the specified key path, which is a series of keys delimited by ".", for example: "createTime.year.length".

takeValueForKeyPath

void takeValueForKeyPath(java.lang.Object aValue,
                         java.lang.String aKeyPath)

Sets the value for the specified key path, which is a series of keys delimited by ".", for example: "createTime.year.length". The value is set for the last object referenced by the key path.

valuesForKeys

NSDictionary valuesForKeys(java.util.List aKeyList)

Returns a Map of the specified keys to their values, each of which might be obtained by calling valueForKey.

takeValuesFromDictionary

void takeValuesFromDictionary(java.util.Map aMap)

Takes the keys from the specified map as properties and applies the corresponding values, each of which might be set by calling takeValueForKey.
