Method Detail

getInstance

public static PropertyType getInstance(int value)

getInstance

public static PropertyType getInstance(java.lang.String displayName)

getInstanceByClassName

public static PropertyType getInstanceByClassName(java.lang.String className)

getDisplayName

public java.lang.String getDisplayName()

Return the display name for this type.

Returns:

the display name

getClassName

public java.lang.String getClassName()

Return the name of the Java class that best represents this type.

Returns:

the Java class that best represents this type.

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object obj)

Compares this object to another. If the specified object is an instance of the MetaMatrixSessionID class, then this method compares the contents; otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException (as instances are comparable only to instances of the same class).

Note: this method is consistent with equals(), meaning that (compare(x, y)==0) == (x.equals(y)).

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Parameters:

obj - the object that this instance is to be compared to.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object, respectively.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object reference is null

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this instance.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Returns true if the specified object is semantically equal to this instance. Note: this method is consistent with compareTo().

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - the object that this instance is to be compared to.

Returns:

whether the object is equal to this object.

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

toString

public final java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representing the current state of the object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the string representation of this instance.

isValidValue

public boolean isValidValue(java.lang.Object value)
