All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Datatype>, Datatype

public class JavaClass2DatatypeAdaptor
extends AbstractDatatype

Adapter that allows to use any Java class (that is not a value) as datatype. Typical use for such datatypes are classes like MessageList or CalculationResult that are used as collection parameters in methods.

Method Details

getJavaClassName

public String getJavaClassName()

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Datatype

Returns the datatype's name.

getQualifiedName

public String getQualifiedName()

Description copied from interface: Datatype

Returns the datatype's qualified name.

The qualified name identifies the datatype.

Returns true if this datatype represents one of Java's primitive types.

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Description copied from interface: Datatype

Returns true if this datatype is an abstract datatype in means of the object oriented paradigm.
