      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.
