## Class SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.beanutils.SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    BeanIntrospector

      public class SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector
      extends Object
      implements BeanIntrospector

  A specialized `BeanIntrospector` implementation which suppresses some properties.

  An instance of this class is passed a set with the names of the properties it should process. During introspection of a bean class it removes all these properties from the `IntrospectionContext`. So effectively, properties added by a different `BeanIntrospector` are removed again.

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field and Description
    --- | ---
    `static SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector` | `SUPPRESS_CLASS` A specialized instance which is configured to suppress the special `class` properties of Java beans.

  - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructor and Description
    `SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector(Collection<String> propertiesToSuppress)` Creates a new instance of `SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector` and sets the names of the properties to be suppressed.

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `Set<String>` | `getSuppressedProperties()` Returns a (unmodifiable) set with the names of the properties which are suppressed by this `BeanIntrospector`.
    `void` | `introspect(IntrospectionContext icontext)` Performs introspection on a Java class.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### SUPPRESS_CLASS

          public static final SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector SUPPRESS_CLASS

      A specialized instance which is configured to suppress the special `class` properties of Java beans. Unintended access to the property `class` (which is common to all Java objects) can be a security risk because it also allows access to the class loader. Adding this instance as `BeanIntrospector` to an instance of `PropertyUtilsBean` suppresses the `class` property; it can then no longer be accessed.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector

          public SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector(Collection<String> propertiesToSuppress)

      Creates a new instance of `SuppressPropertiesBeanIntrospector` and sets the names of the properties to be suppressed.
      Parameters:
        `propertiesToSuppress` - the names of the properties to be suppressed (must not be null)
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the collection with property names is null

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getSuppressedProperties

          public Set<String> getSuppressedProperties()

      Returns a (unmodifiable) set with the names of the properties which are suppressed by this `BeanIntrospector`.
      Returns:
        a set with the names of the suppressed properties

    - #### introspect

          public void introspect(IntrospectionContext icontext)
                          throws IntrospectionException

      Performs introspection on a Java class. The current class to be inspected can be queried from the passed in `IntrospectionContext` object. A typical implementation has to obtain this class, determine its properties according to the rules it implements, and add them to the passed in context object. This implementation removes all properties from the given context it is configured for.
      Specified by:
        `introspect` in interface `BeanIntrospector`
      Parameters:
        `icontext` - the context object for interaction with the initiator of the introspection request
      Throws:
        `IntrospectionException` - if an error occurs during introspection
