Member Function Documentation
Object org.exolab.castor.xml.handlers.ValueOfFieldHandler.convertUponGet |
( |
Object |
value |
) |
[virtual] |
This method is used to convert the value when the getValue method is called. The getValue method will obtain the actual field value from given 'parent' object. This convert method is then invoked with the field's value. The value returned from this method will be the actual value returned by getValue method.
- Parameters:
-
| value | the object value to convert after performing a get operation |
- Returns:
- the converted value.
Implements org.exolab.castor.mapping.GeneralizedFieldHandler.
Object org.exolab.castor.xml.handlers.ValueOfFieldHandler.convertUponSet |
( |
Object |
value |
) |
[virtual] |
This method is used to convert the value when the setValue method is called. The setValue method will call this method to obtain the converted value. The converted value will then be used as the value to set for the field.
- Parameters:
-
| value | the object value to convert before performing a set operation |
- Returns:
- the converted value.
Implements org.exolab.castor.mapping.GeneralizedFieldHandler.
Class org.exolab.castor.xml.handlers.ValueOfFieldHandler.getFieldType |
( |
|
) |
[virtual] |
Returns the class type for the field that this GeneralizedFieldHandler converts to and from. This should be the type that is used in the object model.
- Returns:
- the class type of of the field
Implements org.exolab.castor.mapping.GeneralizedFieldHandler.
Object org.exolab.castor.xml.handlers.ValueOfFieldHandler.newInstance |
( |
Object |
parent |
) |
throws IllegalStateException [virtual] |
Creates a new instance of the object described by this field.
- Parameters:
-
| parent | The object for which the field is created |
- Returns:
- A new instance of the field's value
- Exceptions:
-
| IllegalStateException | This field is a simple type and cannot be instantiated |
