      beanClass - name of the class to create
      entity - entity containing the properties
      methodName - calling method
      Returns:
      bean populated with properties from the entity supplied
      Throws:
      PropertyServerException - there is a problem instantiating the bean

    • getNewBean

      public B getNewBean(Class<B> beanClass, EntityDetail entity, Relationship relationship, String methodName) throws PropertyServerException
