org.bremersee.comparator.DefaultValueExtractor

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueExtractor

public class DefaultValueExtractor
extends Object
implements ValueExtractor

The default value extractor supports field names and paths as described in ComparatorField. A field name can be just the field name (e. g. firstName), a method name, that is not generated by ValueExtractor.getPossibleMethodNames(String) (e. g. toString) or a path of field names separated by dots (.), e. g. person.firstName.
