org.apache.wicket.util.string.interpolator
Class PropertyVariableInterpolator

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.wicket.util.string.interpolator.VariableInterpolator
      org.apache.wicket.util.string.interpolator.PropertyVariableInterpolator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, IClusterable, IConverterLocator

public final class PropertyVariableInterpolator
extends VariableInterpolator
implements IConverterLocator

Interpolates values into Strings that are produced by interpreting property expressions against a beans model.

The interpolate(String string, Object model) method takes a string such as " My name is ${name}" and a beans model such as a Person, and reflects on the object using any property expressions found inside ${} markers in the String. In this case, if the Person model has a getName() method. The results of calling that method would be substituted for ${name}. If getName() returned "Jonathan", then interpolate() would return "My name is Jonathan".

"$" is the escape char. Thus "$${text}" can be used to escape it (ignore interpretation).

1.2.6
