DataTypeReflectable

public DataTypeReflectable()

Method Detail

iterator

public Iterator<ReflectableItem> iterator()

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<ReflectableItem>

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.Reflectable

Specified by:

GetDataTypeEnum in interface IDataType

Returns:

the data type

See Also:

IDataType.GetDataTypeEnum()

GetStringValue

public String GetStringValue()
                      throws ExecutionSerializationException

Returns 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 DataTypeReflectable#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)

GetValue

public Object GetValue()

Returns this instance

Specified by:

GetValue in interface IDataType

Returns:

the value

See Also:

IDataType.GetValue()

GetItems

public ReflectableItem[] GetItems()

Retrieves the ReflectableItems that make up this instance

Returns:

the reflectable item collection

SetValue

public void SetValue(Object Value)
              throws ExecutionValidationException

If the provided value is null, the collection of ReflectableItem is also set to null. Otherwise, if the provided value is an array of ReflectableItem, the internal collection is set to the provided array. If the provided value is a DataTypeReflectable, the internal collection is set to the internal collection of the provided DataTypeReflectable. Otherwise, if the provided value is a string, the DataTypeReflectable#FromXML(String)) is called. Otherwise, an instance of a ReflectableAnalyzer is created, and the produced DataTypeReflectable retrieved by ReflectableAnalyzer.ProduceReflectable(Object) is used.

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)
