Class BooleanFormat
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Cloneable
The boolean formatter pattern consists of at least a pair of values separated by '|'. Several pairs can be specified separated by commas.
When several pairs are specified, only the first one is used for output.
An option "[strict]" can prefix the pattern MUST match either false or true. Default behavior is to return FALSE when not matching any of the pair values. When not in strict mode, the strings are all trimmed before comparing with case insensitive string compare.

- Method SummaryModifier and TypeMethodDescription- format- (Object obj, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition pos) Formats an object and appends the resulting text to a given string buffer.- parseObject- (String source) Parses text from the beginning of the given string to produce an object.- parseObject- (String source, ParsePosition pos) Parses text from a string to produce an object.- Methods inherited from class java.text.Format- clone, format, formatToCharacterIterator
- Constructor Details- BooleanFormatConstructs the boolean formatter.- Parameters:
- pattern- The pattern.
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- If the format is in error.
 
 
- Method Details- formatFormats an object and appends the resulting text to a given string buffer.- If the - posargument identifies a field used by the format, then its indices are set to the beginning and end of the first such field encountered.- Specified by:
- formatin class- Format
- Parameters:
- obj- The object to format.
- toAppendTo- To where the text is to be appended
- pos- A- FieldPositionidentifying a field in the formatted text.
- Returns:
- The string buffer passed in as toAppendTo, with formatted text appended.
- Throws:
- NullPointerException- if- toAppendToor- posis null.
- IllegalArgumentException- if the Format cannot format the given object.
 
- parseObjectParses text from a string to produce an object.- The method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by - pos.- If parsing succeeds, then the index of - posis updated to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed object is returned. The updated- poscan be used to indicate the starting point for the next call to this method. If an error occurs, then the index of- posis not changed, the error index of- posis set to the index of the character where the error occurred, and null is returned.- Specified by:
- parseObjectin class- Format
- Parameters:
- source- A- String, part of which should be parsed.
- pos- A- ParsePositionobject with index and error index information as described above.
- Returns:
- An Objectparsed from the string. In case of error, returns null.
 
- parseObjectParses text from the beginning of the given string to produce an object. The method may not use the entire text of the given string.- Overrides:
- parseObjectin class- Format
- Parameters:
- source- A- Stringwhose beginning should be parsed.
- Returns:
- An Objectparsed from the string.
- Throws:
- ParseException- if the beginning of the specified string cannot be parsed.
