create

public <T> DataType<T> create(Class<T> type)

create

public <T> DataType<T> create(Class<?> type,
                              String mimeType)

create

public DataType create(Class<? extends Collection> collClass,
                       Class itemType)

create

public DataType create(Class<? extends Collection> collClass,
                       Class itemType,
                       String mimeType)

createFromObject

public DataType createFromObject(Object o)

Will create a DataType object from an object instance. This method will check if the object o is a MuleMessage instance and will take the type from the message payload and check if a mime type is set on the message and used that when constructing the DataType object.

Parameters:

o - an object instance. This can be a MuleMessage, a collection, a proxy instance or any other object

Returns:

a data type that represents the object type.
