Rule implementation that calls a method on the (top-1) (parent) object, passing the top object (child) as an argument. It is commonly used to establish parent-child relationships.

This rule now supports more flexible method matching by default. It is possible that this may break (some) code written against release 1.1.1 or earlier. See isExactMatch() for more details.

Is exact matching being used.

This rule uses org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils to introspect the relevant objects so that the right method can be called. Originally, MethodUtils.invokeExactMethod was used. This matches methods very strictly and so may not find a matching method when one exists. This is still the behaviour when exact matching is enabled.

When exact matching is disabled, MethodUtils.invokeMethod is used. This method finds more methods but is less precise when there are several methods with correct signatures. So, if you want to choose an exact signature you might need to enable this property.

The default setting is to disable exact matches.

Returns:true iff exact matching is enabled
Since:Digester Release 1.1.1
