Method Detail

getValidEffConfigSpecs

public static EffConfigSpec[] getValidEffConfigSpecs(EffContext effContext)

Returns all the valid EffConfigSpecs for the context -- one for each valid Eff class.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

effContext -

Returns:

EffConfigSpec[]

getValidPersistableEffConfigSpecs

public static PersistableEffConfigSpec[] getValidPersistableEffConfigSpecs(EffContext effContext)

Returns all the valid PersistableEffConfigSpecs for the context -- one for each valid Eff class.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

effContext -

Returns:

PersistableEffConfigSpec[]

valueToValueAsString

public static String valueToValueAsString(Class effType,
                                          Serializable value)
                                   throws WTPropertyVetoException

Converts a value to a String.. Uses EffHelper.getEffRange(Class) and getEffGroupRangeDelegate(Class) to get an EffGroupRangeDelegate so it can figure out what type of value for start or end of a Range to convert to a String.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

effType -

value -

Returns:

String

Throws:

WTPropertyVetoException

valueAsStringToValue

public static Serializable valueAsStringToValue(Class effType,
                                                String valueAsString)
                                         throws WTPropertyVetoException

Converts the String representation of a value to the serialized object represented by the type. Uses EffHelper.getEffRange(Class) and getEffGroupRangeDelegate(Class) to get an EffGroupRangeDelegate so it can figure out what type of value for start or end of a Range to convert the value to.

Supported API: true

Parameters:

effType -

valueAsString -

Returns:

Serializable

Throws:
