    • Method Detail

      • getPlainKString

        public PlainKString getPlainKString()
        Gets the PlainKString.

                              throws PropTypeException
        Validates that the value to set is of String instance.

        Note: When this method is called, synchronization is done at the property itself, so no synchronization on the tree should be done.

        Parameters:
        newValue - the new value.
        Returns:
        boolean true for value has changed, false for same value as current value.

        Parameters:
        propertyManager - the property manager instance.
        trans - transaction to append the properties to.
        value - the value to append to the transaction, a reference to the current property value.

        Overrides:
        initializeValue in class KStringProp
        Parameters:

      • getValueClasses

        public java.lang.Class<?>[] getValueClasses()
        Gets the list of possible native Java classes that can be used to set a value using setPropertyValue, in order of importance. Note that loss of precision in data if e.g. an Float property accepts a Double. However, the setPropertyValue throws IllegalArgumentException if the range in invalid, e.g. conversion of a Integer to a Byte, and the value is not -127 to 128.
        Specified by:
        getValueClasses in interface IGProp<KString>
        Overrides:
        getValueClasses in class KStringProp
        Returns:
        The array of Java classes that can be accepted in the setPropertyValue method. The first type is the "native" or most preferred type. The array is at least one item in length and never null.
      • getPropValue0

        protected java.lang.Object getPropValue0​(java.lang.Object value,
                                                 int index)
                                          throws java.lang.Exception
        Gets the property value in another class form than the "native" one. This method tries conversion of a "native" property value into another class type. This method is used when filling in a POJO variable (Plain Old Java Object Field) from a "native" property value.
        Overrides:
        getPropValue0 in class KStringProp
        Parameters:
        value - The property value.
        index - The index in the Class array returned by getValueClasses().
        Returns:
        The property value in the requested class, after conversion.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - Other exceptions that could occur.
      • toNativeValue0

        protected java.lang.Object toNativeValue0​(java.lang.Object value,
                                                  int index)
                                           throws java.lang.Exception
        Tries conversion of possibly accepted properties values using the setPropertyValue method into the most preferred property value type. If the input value already is of the preferred type, the same object is returned.
        Overrides:
        toNativeValue0 in class KStringProp
        Parameters:
        value - The input value to convert to native value.
        index - The index in the array returned by getValueClasses(), or -1 if not found.
        Returns:
        The converted input value in the preferred property value object type.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - For conversion exceptions.
