Field Detail

iUseNative

protected boolean iUseNative

Indicate that native arrays should be used.

iSepChar

protected char iSepChar

Separation character for text list of object values.

iEscChar

protected char iEscChar

Escape character for textual values in list.

Constructor Detail

TypeArrayStringConverter

public TypeArrayStringConverter()

Method Detail

setUseNative

public void setUseNative(boolean pUseNative)

Indicate that native arrays should be used.

When true, assume that the object represented as a String is a native array type, for example int[].

When false, assume that the object represented as a String is a wrapper object array type, for example Integer[].

Parameters:

pUseNative - flag to use native arrays

setDelimiters

public void setDelimiters(char pSepChar,
                          char pEscChar)

Set the delimiters for textual lists.

Parameters:

pSepChar - the separation character

pEscChar - the escape character

makeObjectImpl

protected Object makeObjectImpl(String pValue,
                                boolean pUseDefault)
                         throws Exception

Pass actual object creation to makeTypeObjectImpl method.

Create the array from the returned objects.

Overrides:

makeObjectImpl in class TypeStringConverter

Throws:

Exception

makeDefaultObjectImpl

protected Object makeDefaultObjectImpl()

Return an empty array.

Overrides:

makeDefaultObjectImpl in class TypeStringConverter

makeStringImpl

protected String makeStringImpl(Object pValues,
                                boolean pUseDefault)
                         throws Exception

Pass actual text creation to makeTypeStringImpl method.

Create a textual list using the String values.

Overrides:

makeStringImpl in class TypeStringConverter

Throws:

Exception

makeDefaultStringImpl

protected String makeDefaultStringImpl()

Return an empty String.

Overrides:

makeDefaultStringImpl in class TypeStringConverter

makeArray

protected abstract Object makeArray(List pValues)

Create an array object from the list of values.

If iUseNative is true, then create a native array, else a wrapper object array.

Parameters:

pValues - list of values

makeList

protected abstract ArrayList makeList(Object pValues)

Convert an object into a List, if possible.

If iUseNative is true, then assume pValues is a native array, else a wrapper object array.

Parameters:

pValues - object that should be a list
