Constructor Detail

CharacterMultiProperty

public CharacterMultiProperty(String theName,
                              String theDescription,
                              Character[] theDefaults,
                              float theUIOrder,
                              char delimiter)

Constructor for CharacterProperty.

Parameters:

theName - String

theDescription - String

theDefaults - char[]

theUIOrder - float

delimiter - char

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

Method Detail

type

public Class<Character[]> type()

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

Denotes the value datatype.

Returns:

Class

See Also:

PropertyDescriptor.type()

valueFrom

public Character[] valueFrom(String valueString)
                      throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

If the property is multi-valued then return the separate values after parsing the propertyString provided. If it isn't a multi-valued property then the value will be returned within an array of size[1].

Parameters:

valueString - String

Returns:

Object

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

See Also:

PropertyDescriptor.valueFrom(String)

isMultiValue

public boolean isMultiValue()

Description copied from class: AbstractProperty

Returns whether the property is multi-valued, i.e. an array of strings, As unary property rule properties will return a value of one, you must use the get/setProperty accessors when working with the actual values. When working with multi-value properties then the get/setProperties accessors must be used.

Specified by:

isMultiValue in interface PropertyDescriptor<Character[]>

Overrides:

isMultiValue in class AbstractProperty<Character[]>

Returns:

boolean
