Java(TM) 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.2.2 API Specification: Class Introspector public class Introspector
extends Object
The Introspector class provides a standard way for tools to learn about the properties, events, and methods supported by a target Java Bean.
For each of those three kinds of information, the Introspector will separately analyze the bean's class and superclasses looking for either explicit or implicit information and use that information to build a BeanInfo object that comprehensively describes the target bean.
