Method Detail

iterator

public Iterator<IDataType> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<IDataType>

GetArrayClassCode

public String GetArrayClassCode()

Gets the array code.

Returns:

the array code

SetArrayClassCode

public void SetArrayClassCode(String ArrayClassCode)

Sets the array code.

Parameters:

ArrayClassCode - the array code

GetDefaultConverter

public String GetDefaultConverter()

Gets the default converter.

Returns:

the string

SetDefaultConverter

public void SetDefaultConverter(String DefaultConverter)

Sets the default converter.

Parameters:

DefaultConverter - the default converter

GetDefaultComponentType

public String GetDefaultComponentType()

Gets the default component type.

Returns:

the string

SetDefaultComponentType

public void SetDefaultComponentType(String DefaultComponentType)

Sets the default component type.

Parameters:

DefaultComponentType - the default component type

CanSuggestDataTypeClass

public boolean CanSuggestDataTypeClass()

Always returns false

Specified by:

CanSuggestDataTypeClass in interface IDataType

Returns:

true, if it can

See Also:

IDataType.CanSuggestDataTypeClass()

GetDataTypeClass

public Class<?> GetDataTypeClass()

Returns null

Specified by:

GetDataTypeClass in interface IDataType

Returns:

the run time type

See Also:

IDataType.GetDataTypeClass()

GetDataTypeEnum

public IDataType.DataTypes GetDataTypeEnum()

Returns IDataType.DataTypes.Array

Specified by:

GetDataTypeEnum in interface IDataType

Returns:

the data type

See Also:

IDataType.GetDataTypeEnum()

GetStringValue

public String GetStringValue()
                      throws ExecutionSerializationException

Calls ToXML()

Specified by:

GetStringValue in interface IDataType

Returns:

the string representation of the value

Throws:

ExecutionSerializationException - A serialization error occurred

See Also:

IDataType.GetStringValue()

SetStringValue

public void SetStringValue(String val)
                    throws ExecutionValidationException,
                           ExecutionSerializationException

Calls FromXML(String)

Specified by:

SetStringValue in interface IDataType

Parameters:

val - the value to set

Throws:

ExecutionValidationException - A validation error occurred

ExecutionSerializationException - A serialization error occurred

See Also:

IDataType.SetStringValue(java.lang.String)

GetItems

public IDataType[] GetItems()

Gets the array items.

Returns:

the contained data types

GetValue

public Object GetValue()

if the contained array data types is null, then null is returned. Otherwise, an array is created with as many dimensions as are dictated by the array code and in every index of the array the respective IDataType.GetValue() is set.

Specified by:

GetValue in interface IDataType

Returns:

the value

See Also:

IDataType.GetValue()

SetValue

public void SetValue(Object Value)
              throws ExecutionValidationException

if the provided value is null, then the internal array is set to null. Otherwise, if the value is an instance of an array of IDataType, then the internal array is set to that. If the value is a string, the FromXML(String) is called. Otherwise, if the provided value is an array, a new array of the type that is dictated by the array code is created and the respective data types are created from the respective values of the argument.

Specified by:

SetValue in interface IDataType

Parameters:

Value - the value to set

Throws:

ExecutionValidationException - A validation error occurred

See Also:

IDataType.SetValue(java.lang.Object)

FromXML

public void FromXML(Element XML)
             throws ExecutionSerializationException

Description copied from interface: IDataType

Parses the xml serialization of the data type as retrieved by IDataType.ToXML()

Specified by:

FromXML in interface IDataType
