Arjen Poutsma ca017a4880 Introduce strategy for BeanInfo creation Before this commit, the CachedIntrospectionResults was hard-coded to create ExtendedBeanInfos for bean classes. The ExtendedBeanInfo support the JavaBeans property contract only. This commit introduces the BeanInfoFactory, a strategy for creating BeanInfos. Through this strategy, it is possible to support beans that do not necessarily implement the JavaBeans contract (i.e. have a different getter or setter style). BeanInfoFactories are are instantiated by the CachedIntrospectionResults, which looks for 'META-INF/spring.beanInfoFactories' files on the class path. These files contain one or more BeanInfoFactory class names. When a BeanInfo is to be created, the CachedIntrospectionResults will iterate through the factories, asking it to create a BeanInfo for the given bean class. If none of the factories support it, an ExtendedBeanInfo is created as a default. This commit also contains a change to Property, allowing BeanWrapperImpl to specify the property name at construction time (as opposed to using Property#resolveName(), which supports the JavaBeans contract only).

Arjen Poutsma ca017a4880 Introduce strategy for BeanInfo creation

Before this commit, the CachedIntrospectionResults was hard-coded to
create ExtendedBeanInfos for bean classes. The ExtendedBeanInfo support
the JavaBeans property contract only.

This commit introduces the BeanInfoFactory, a strategy for creating
BeanInfos. Through this strategy, it is possible to support
beans that do not necessarily implement the JavaBeans contract (i.e.
have a different getter or setter style).

BeanInfoFactories are are instantiated by the
CachedIntrospectionResults, which looks for
'META-INF/spring.beanInfoFactories' files on the class path. These files
contain one or more BeanInfoFactory class names. When a BeanInfo is to
be created, the CachedIntrospectionResults will iterate through the
factories, asking it to create a BeanInfo for the given bean class. If
none of the factories support it, an ExtendedBeanInfo is created as a
default.

This commit also contains a change to Property, allowing BeanWrapperImpl
to specify the property name at construction time (as opposed to using
Property#resolveName(), which supports the JavaBeans contract only).
