PropertyInfo.shouldPersistValue

Determines whether the value of the property should be persisted.

Syntax

public boolean shouldPersistValue( Object component )

Parameters

component

The component that defines the property.

Return Value

Returns true if the property should be persisted; otherwise, returns false.

Remarks

This method determines whether the state of the property is different from when the component was first instantiated. If a default value is specified in this PropertyInfo object, it is compared against the property's current value. If there is no default value, this method invokes and returns the value of the component's shouldPersist<PropertyName> method, if it exists. If both these routes fail, true is returned.
