findGetters

public abstract LinkedHashMap<String,AnnotatedMethod> findGetters(VisibilityChecker<?> visibilityChecker,
                                                                  Collection<String> ignoredProperties)

Parameters:

visibilityChecker - Object that determines whether methods have enough visibility to be auto-detectable as getters

ignoredProperties - (optional, may be null) Names of properties to ignore; getters for these properties are not to be returned.

Returns:

Ordered Map with logical property name as key, and matching getter method as value.

findSetters

public abstract LinkedHashMap<String,AnnotatedMethod> findSetters(VisibilityChecker<?> vchecker)

Parameters:

vchecker - (optional) Object that determines whether specific methods have enough visibility to be considered as auto-detectable setters. If null, auto-detection is disabled

Returns:

Ordered Map with logical property name as key, and matching setter method as value.
