31   * Configuration for replacing a property value based on a condition
32   *
33   * <p>
34   * A <code>Component</code> may be configured with one or more <code>PropertyReplacer</code> instances. Each defines
35   * a condition to evaluate during the apply model phase, and if that condition succeeds the property on the component
36   * given by {@link #getPropertyName()}, will be replaced with the value given by {@link #getReplacement()}. Conditions
37   * are defined using an expression language and may reference any variables available in the component's context.
38   * </p>
39   *
40   * <p>
41   * Property replacers can be used to change out an entire Component or List/Map of Components. For example, based on a
42   * condition you might want to display a <code>TextControl</code> or <code>RadioControl</code> for an
43   * <code>InputField</code>. You can define the field with a text control, then include a property replacer as
44   * follows:
45   * <pre>
46   * <bean parent="PropertyReplacer" p:propertyName="control"
47   * p:condition="field1 eq '10985'" p:replacement-ref="RadioControl"/>
48   *
49   * </pre>
50   *
51   * Note <code>Component</code> contains a <code>List</code> or property replacers which will be evaluated in the order
52   * contained within the list. So in the above example if we wanted to now add a further condition which sets the
53   * control
54   * to a checkbox, we would just add another property replacer bean.
55   * <pre>
56   *   <property name="propertyReplacers">
57   * <list>
58   * <bean parent="PropertyReplacer" p:propertyName="control"
59   * p:condition="field1 eq '10985'" p:replacement-ref="RadioControl"/>
60   * <bean parent="PropertyReplacer" p:propertyName="control"
61   * p:condition="field1 eq '11456'" p:replacement-ref="CheckboxControl"/>
62   *     </list>
63   *   </property>
64   * </pre>
65   *
66   * Property replacers may be used to substitute primitive properties as well, such as Strings
67   * </p>
