All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class PrimitivePropertyValue
extends InstancePropertyValue

PrimitivePropertyValue stores a single primitive property. This is stored in the specific Java class for the property value's type although it is stored as an object.

Constructor Detail

PrimitivePropertyValue

public PrimitivePropertyValue()

Default constructor sets the primitive property value to null.

PrimitivePropertyValue

public PrimitivePropertyValue(PrimitivePropertyValue template)

Copy/clone constructor copies the values from the supplied template.

Parameters:

template - PrimitivePropertyValue

Method Detail

cloneFromSubclass

public InstancePropertyValue cloneFromSubclass()

Delegate the process of cloning to the subclass.

Specified by:

cloneFromSubclass in class InstancePropertyValue

Returns:

subclass of InstancePropertyValue

valueAsString

public String valueAsString()

Return the string version of the value - used for error logging.

Specified by:

valueAsString in class InstancePropertyValue

Returns:

string value

valueAsObject

public Object valueAsObject()

Return the object version of the value - used for comparisons.

Specified by:

valueAsObject in class InstancePropertyValue

Returns:

object value

getPrimitiveDefCategory

public PrimitiveDefCategory getPrimitiveDefCategory()

Return the the category of the primitive's type. This sets the name and Java Class used for the primitive value.

Returns:

PrimitiveDefCategory

setPrimitiveDefCategory

public void setPrimitiveDefCategory(PrimitiveDefCategory primitiveDefCategory)

Set up the category of the primitive type. This sets the name and Java Class used for the primitive value.

Parameters:

primitiveDefCategory - PrimitiveDefCategory enum

getPrimitiveValue

public Object getPrimitiveValue()

Return the primitive value. It is already set up to be the appropriate type for the primitive as defined in the PrimitiveDefCategory.

Returns:

Object containing the primitive value.

setPrimitiveValue

public void setPrimitiveValue(Object primitiveValue)

Set up the primitive value. Although it is passed in as a java.lang.Object, it should be the correct type as defined by the PrimitiveDefCategory.

Parameters:

primitiveValue - object contain the primitive value

toString

public String toString()

Standard toString method.

Overrides:

toString in class InstancePropertyValue

Returns:

JSON style description of variables.

equals

public boolean equals(Object objectToCompare)

Validate that an object is equal depending on their stored values.

Overrides:

equals in class InstancePropertyValue

Parameters:

objectToCompare - object

Returns:

boolean result

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Return a hash code based on the property values

Overrides:

hashCode in class InstancePropertyValue

Returns:

int hash code
