Properties

final Collection<PropertyDescriptor> descs;

descs = Arrays.asList(Introspector.getBeanInfo(object.getClass()).getPropertyDescriptors());

Is It a Getter?

final Boolean getter;

getter = (pd.getReadMethod() != null);

Is It Annotated?

final Boolean annotated;

annotated= pd.getReadMethod().getAnnotation(Column.class);

Invoking a Getter

This will return the property value:

final PropertyDescriptor pd;
final Object value;

pd = Iterables.getFirst(descs, null);

value = pd.getReadMethod().invoke(object);
