Class PropertyVariableInterpolator

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, IClusterable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConvertingPropertyVariableInterpolator

public class PropertyVariableInterpolator
extends VariableInterpolator

Interpolates values into Strings that are produced by interpreting property expressions against an object.

Takes a string such as "My name is ${name}" and a bean 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 the result would return "My name is Jonathan".

"$" is the escape char. Thus "$${text}" can be used to escape it (ignore interpretation). If '$3.24' is needed then '$$${amount}' should be used. The first $ sign escapes the second, and the third is used to interpolate the variable.
