Constructor Detail

MetaTypeValue

protected MetaTypeValue(java.lang.Object value)
                 throws ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException

Constructor.

Parameters:

value - Value of this instance

Throws:

ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException - if the given value does not match this type

MetaTypeValue

protected MetaTypeValue()

Argumentless constructor.

Method Detail

getValue

public IDatatype getValue()

Getter for the value.

Specified by:

getValue in class Value

Returns:

the saved datatype

setValue

public void setValue(java.lang.Object value)
              throws ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException

Description copied from class: Value

Abstract setValue-method.

Specified by:

setValue in class Value

Parameters:

value - the value to set.

Throws:

ValueDoesNotMatchTypeException - if the given value does not match this type

accept

public void accept(IValueVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: Value

Abstract accept method.

Specified by:

accept in class Value

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor

isConfigured

public boolean isConfigured()

Description copied from class: Value

Abstract Method to check whether a value is configured.

Specified by:

isConfigured in class Value

Returns:

true = it is configured / false = it is not

clone

public Value clone()

Description copied from class: Value

Clones the this value.

Overrides:

clone in class Value

Returns:

the clone of the value

getContainedType

public IDatatype getContainedType()

Returns the data type explicitly contained in this value. This is typically a meta value, i.e. a type expression.

Overrides:

getContainedType in class Value

Returns:

the contained type or null if there is none

equalsPartially

public boolean equalsPartially(Value value)

Description copied from class: Value

Returns whether the provided value is partially equal to this value, i.e., whether the nested elements of value (if they exist) have the same contents as in this value. Other values of this value are not considered. The check is transitive on nested elements. Please consider that this method is not symmetric as opposed to equals. This method is important to cope with default values.

Specified by:

equalsPartially in class Value

Parameters:

value - the value to be checked for partial equality.

Returns:

true if value is partially equal to this, false else
