Method Detail

getItemType

public Class<?> getItemType()

getType

public Class getType()

Description copied from interface: DataType

The object type of the source object to transform.

Specified by:

getType in interface DataType<T>

Overrides:

getType in class SimpleDataType<T>

Returns:

the class object of the source object. This must not be null

createFromMethodReturn

public static CollectionDataType createFromMethodReturn(Method m)

createFromMethodReturn

public static CollectionDataType createFromMethodReturn(Method m,
                                                        String mimeType)

createFromMethodParam

public static CollectionDataType createFromMethodParam(Method m,
                                                       int paramIndex)

createFromMethodParam

public static CollectionDataType createFromMethodParam(Method m,
                                                       int paramIndex,

isCompatibleWith

public boolean isCompatibleWith(DataType dataType)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Used to determine if this data type is compatible with the data type passed in. This checks to see if the mime types are equal and whether the Java types are assignable

Specified by:

isCompatibleWith in interface DataType<T>

Overrides:

isCompatibleWith in class SimpleDataType<T>

Parameters:

dataType - the dataType object to compare with

Returns:

true if the mime types are the same and this type can be assigned to the dataType.type.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class SimpleDataType<T>

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class SimpleDataType<T>

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class SimpleDataType<T>
