- Constructor Detail
  - AbstractVirtualBean
```
public AbstractVirtualBean()
```
    The constructor.
  - AbstractVirtualBean
```
public AbstractVirtualBean(BeanClass type)
```
    The constructor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the type.
- Method Detail
  - isDynamic
```
public boolean isDynamic()
```
    Specified by:
    
    isDynamic in interface ReadableBean
    
    Overrides:
    
    isDynamic in class AbstractBean
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this Bean is dynamic meaning that is not strictly typed but allows to dynamically add properties, false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    VirtualBean
  - isThreadSafe
```
protected boolean isThreadSafe()
```
    Overrides:
    
    isThreadSafe in class AbstractBean
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the Bean shall be thread-safe (use concurrent collections, etc.), false otherwise.
  - isPrototype
```
public final boolean isPrototype()
```
    Specified by:
    
    isPrototype in interface ReadableBean
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this Bean is a BeanClass, false otherwise (it is a regular instance).
    
    See Also:
    
    BeanClass.getPrototype()
  - getType
```
public BeanClass getType()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface ReadableBean
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface VirtualBean
    
    Returns:
    
    the BeanType reflecting this Bean.
    
    See Also:
    
    VirtualBean.getType(), BeanClass
  - create
```
protected AbstractBean create()
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractBean
    
    Creates a new instance of this Bean implementation. The default implementation uses reflection. To improve performance please override this method. Please note, that if you do so, you also need to override this method again for all sub-classes of the hierarchy.
    
    Overrides:
    
    create in class AbstractBean
    
    Returns:
    
    the new Bean instance. Has to be of the same type as the current class.
  - getProperty
```
public WritableProperty<?> getProperty(String name)
```
    Specified by:
    
    getProperty in interface ReadableBean
    
    Specified by:
    
    getProperty in interface WritableBean
    
    Overrides:
    
    getProperty in class AbstractBean
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the requested property or a potential alias of the property.
    
    Returns:
    
    the requested WritableProperty or null if no such property exists.
    
    See Also:
    
    WritableBean.addProperty(WritableProperty), WritableBean.getOrCreateProperty(String, Class)
  - getPropertyCount
```
public int getPropertyCount()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getPropertyCount in interface ReadableBean
    
    Overrides:
    
    getPropertyCount in class AbstractBean
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of properties of this ReadableBean.
  - getProperties
```
public Iterable<? extends WritableProperty<?>> getProperties()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getProperties in interface ReadableBean
    
    Specified by:
    
    getProperties in interface WritableBean
    
    Overrides:
    
    getProperties in class AbstractBean
    
    Returns:
    
    an Iterable of all properties of this bean.
  - onPropertyAdded
```
protected void onPropertyAdded(WritableProperty<?> property)
```
    Overrides:
    
    onPropertyAdded in class AbstractBean
    
    Parameters:
    
    property - the WritableProperty that has been added.
  - updateProperties
```
protected void updateProperties()
```
    Called before properties are accessed if dynamic and not read-only to allow implementations to update properties internally before.
