Class Utils

  • public class Utils
extends java.lang.Object
    Some utility methods. Currently it is unsure how much access to pure variable declarations VIL actually needs. Here are some accessor methods for VIL compliant types but, however, the results are actually not cached!

        Determines the VIL/VTL return type for the given IVML type.
        Parameters:
        type - the IVML type
        registry - the actual type registry (may be null, result is then IvmlTypes.decisionVariableType()
        specific - resolve for the specific IVML type or for IVML specific dynamic type descriptors
        Returns:
        the return type
        Throws:
        VilException - in case that creating the type fails

      • determineGenerics

                                                throws VilException
        Determines the VIL types for the given generic types.
        Parameters:
        type - the type to take the generic types from
        registry - the actual type registry (may be null, result is then IvmlTypes.decisionVariableType()
        specific - resolve for the specific IVML type or for IVML specific dynamic type descriptors
        Returns:
        the generic types
        Throws:
        VilException - in case that creating a type fails
