Constructor Details

PrimitiveBooleanDatatype

public PrimitiveBooleanDatatype()

Method Details

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.

getDefaultValue

public String getDefaultValue()

Description copied from interface: ValueDatatype

Returns the datatype's default value. For datatypes representing objects the method returns null. For datatypes representing Java primitives the Java default value is returned, e.g. 0 for int.

See Also:

• Void

getWrapperType

public ValueDatatype getWrapperType()

Description copied from interface: ValueDatatype

If this datatype represents a primitive type, this method returns the datatype that represents the wrapper class. Returns null if this datatype does not represent a primitive.

getValue

public Object getValue(String value)

Description copied from interface: ValueDatatype

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.

May throw different exceptions if the given string does not represent any value, for example a NumberFormatException when "twelve" is passed to PrimitiveIntegerDatatype.getValue(String).

Specified by:

getValue in interface ValueDatatype

Specified by:

getValue in class AbstractPrimitiveDatatype

Parameters:

value - the string representation of a value

Returns:

the value as instance of the class this datatype represents

See Also:

• ValueDatatype.valueToString(Object)

supportsCompare

public boolean supportsCompare()

Returns:

true if this datatype is able to compare two values.
