- Class Summary
  Class | Description
  --- | ---
  BaseArcProperty | A base implementation of the `ArcProperty`.
  BaseProperty | An abstract property descriptor that delegates property access to an `Accessor`.
  BaseToManyProperty | A generic superclass of CollectionProperty implementations.
  BaseToOneProperty | A convenience base superclass for `ToOneProperty` implementors.
  BeanAccessor | A property accessor that uses set/get methods following JavaBean naming conventions.
  ClassDescriptorMap | An object that holds class descriptors for mapped entities, compiling new descriptors on demand using an internal chain of descriptor factories.
  Converter<T> | A helper class to do property type conversions.
  ConverterFactory | A factory of property type converters.
  EmbeddedFieldAccessor | An accessor for fields storing embedded objects.
  FieldAccessor | A PropertyAccessor that performs direct Field access.
  FieldEmbeddableDescriptor | A default POJO embeddable descriptor.
  IdMapKeyAccessor | A stateless read-only accessor of the map key value that is based on the Persistent object id.
  LazyClassDescriptorDecorator | A ClassDescriptor wrapper that compiles decorated descriptor lazily on first access.
  LifecycleCallbackRegistry | A registry of lifecycle callbacks for all callback event types.
  MapAccessor |
  PersistentDescriptor | A default ClassDescriptor implementation for persistent objects.
  PersistentDescriptorFactory | A convenience superclass for `ClassDescriptorFactory` implementors.
  PropertyAccessor | A utility accessor class that wraps a simple property.
  PropertyUtils | Utility methods to quickly access object properties.
  SimpleAttributeProperty | A descriptor of an "attribute" persistent property.
  SingletonFaultFactory |
  ToAnyConverter<T> | Can convert to any class that has a constructor that takes a single Object or a single String parameter.

- Exception Summary
  Exception | Description
  --- | ---
  PropertyException | An unchecked exception thrown on errors during property access, either within a Accessor or a Property.
  UnresolvablePathException | A runtime exception thrown when `PropertyUtils.getProperty()` finds that there is a null value in middle of the resolved path.
