Method Details

getValue

public Object getValue(String s)

Description copied from class: ValueClassNameDatatype

This method parses the given string and returns the value as an instance of the class this value datatype represents. Use with caution: During development time Faktor-IPS maintains all values with their string representation. This allows to change the value's datatype without the need to convert the value from one class to another (e.g. if the string representation is 42 you can change the datatype from integer to string without converting the integer object to a string object.

Specified by:

getValue in interface ValueDatatype

Specified by:

getValue in class ValueClassNameDatatype

Parameters:

s - string representation of the value

Returns:

The value as instance of the class this datatype represents.

• ValueClassNameDatatype.valueToString(Object)

supportsCompare

public boolean supportsCompare()

Returns:

true if this datatype is able to compare two values.
