Method Detail

getTypeIdentifier

public int getTypeIdentifier()

Gets the data type identifier.

Returns:

a unique type identifier

getTypeClass

public Class getTypeClass()

Returns the class of the Object's handled by IDataType.

Returns:

the class of the Object's handled by IDataType.

convertAndCheckToTypeClass

public Object convertAndCheckToTypeClass(Object pObject)
                                  throws ModelException

Converts the oObject to an Object which is an instance of the class which is handled by IDataType. The resulting Object is also checked against the type attributes like size, precision,...

Parameters:

pObject - the source Object to convert

Returns:

the converted Object that is instance of the class which is handled by IDataType.

Throws:

ModelException - if the Object is outside the limits of the DataType attributes

convertToString

public String convertToString(Object pObject)

Converts the oObject into a String which represents the Object.

Parameters:

pObject - the source Object to convert

Returns:

the String representation of the source Object

convertToTypeClass

public Object convertToTypeClass(Object pObject)
                          throws ModelException

Converts the oObject to an Object which is an instance of the class which is handled by IDataType.

Parameters:

pObject - the source Object to convert

Returns:

the converted Object that is instance of the class which is handled by IDataType.

Throws:

ModelException - if the class/type of oObject is not supported

prepareValue

public Object prepareValue(Object pObject)
                    throws ModelException

Prepares the given value. This is used for preparing values for client-side usage and occurs before the client side receives the value for the first time. If there is nothing to be done, the same object as passed in needs to be returned.

Specified by:

prepareValue in interface IDataType

Overrides:

prepareValue in class DataType

Parameters:

pObject - the object to prepare.

Returns:

the prepared object. If there is nothing to do, the same object.

Throws:

ModelException - if the preparation failed.

clone

public StringDataType clone()

Clone an IDataType.

Specified by:

clone in interface IDataType

Overrides:

clone in class DataType

Returns:

a clone of this IDataType

See Also:

Object.clone()

getTranslator

public ITranslator getTranslator()

Gets the translator for translating.

Returns:

the translator

setTranslator

public void setTranslator(ITranslator pTranslator)

Sets the translator for translating. If a translator is set, the values are translated.

Parameters:

pTranslator - the translator

isAutoTrimEnd

public boolean isAutoTrimEnd()

Gets, if string ends are auto trimmed. All white spaces are removed at the end.

Returns:

true, if string ends are auto trimmed.
