Method Detail

create

public static <T> DataType<T> create(Class<T> type)

createImmutable

public static <T> DataType<T> createImmutable(Class<T> type)

createWithEncoding

public static <T> DataType<T> createWithEncoding(Class<T> type,
                                                 String encoding)

create

public static <T> DataType<T> create(Class<T> type,
                                     String mimeType)

create

public static <T> DataType create(Class<? extends Collection> collClass,
                                  Class<T> itemType)

create

public static <T> DataType create(Class<? extends Collection> collClass,
                                  Class<T> itemType,
                                  String mimeType)

createFromObject

public static DataType<?> createFromObject(Object o)

Will create a DataType object from an object instance. This method will check if the object o is a MuleMessage instance and will take the type from the message payload and check if a mime type is set on the message and used that when constructing the DataType object.

Parameters:

o - an object instance. This can be a MuleMessage, a collection, a proxy instance or any other object

Returns:

a data type that represents the object type.

isProxyClass

protected static <T> boolean isProxyClass(Class<T> type)

Cache which classes are proxies. Very experimental
