PropertyModel (Tapestry API

All Superinterfaces:

AnnotationProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

PropertyModelImpl
```
public interface PropertyModel
extends AnnotationProvider
```
Part of a BeanModel that defines the attributes of a single property of a bean. A PropertyModel is also an AnnotationProvider, as long as the PropertyConduit is non-null. When there is no property conduit, then AnnotationProvider.getAnnotation(Class) will return null.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`PropertyModel`	`dataType(String dataType)` Changes the data type for the property.
`PropertyConduit`	`getConduit()` Returns an object used to read or update the property.
`String`	`getDataType()` Returns a logical name for the type of UI needed to view or edit the property.
`String`	`getId()` Returns the id used to access other resources (this is based on the property name, but with any excess punctuation stripped out).
`String`	`getLabel()` Returns a user-presentable label for the property.
`String`	`getPropertyName()` Returns the name of the property (which may, in fact, be a property expression).
`Class`	`getPropertyType()` Returns the type of the property.
`boolean`	`isSortable()` Returns true if the property can be used for sorting.
`PropertyModel`	`label(String label)` Changes the label for the property to the provided value.
`BeanModel`	`model()` Returns the containing model, often used for "fluent" construction of the model.
`PropertyModel`	`sortable(boolean sortable)` Updates sortable and returns the model for further changes.

- Method Detail
  - getPropertyName
```
String getPropertyName()
```
    Returns the name of the property (which may, in fact, be a property expression).
  - getId
```
String getId()
```
    Returns the id used to access other resources (this is based on the property name, but with any excess punctuation stripped out).
  - getLabel
```
String getLabel()
```
    Returns a user-presentable label for the property.
  - getPropertyType
```
Class getPropertyType()
```
    Returns the type of the property.
  - getDataType
```
String getDataType()
```
    Returns a logical name for the type of UI needed to view or edit the property. This is initially determined from the property type.
  - dataType
```
PropertyModel dataType(String dataType)
```
    Changes the data type for the property.
    
    Parameters:
    dataType -
    
    Returns:
    the property model, for further changes
  - getConduit
```
PropertyConduit getConduit()
```
    Returns an object used to read or update the property. For virtual properties (properties that do not actually exist on the bean), the conduit may be null.
  - label
```
PropertyModel label(String label)
```
    Changes the label for the property to the provided value.
    
    Parameters:
    label - new label for property
    
    Returns:
    the property model, for further changes
  - model
```
BeanModel model()
```
    Returns the containing model, often used for "fluent" construction of the model.
  - isSortable
```
boolean isSortable()
```
    Returns true if the property can be used for sorting. By default, this is true only if the property type implements Comparable.
  - sortable
```
PropertyModel sortable(boolean sortable)
```
    Updates sortable and returns the model for further changes.
    
    Returns:
    the property model, for further changes
