Method Detail

parseValue

T parseValue(java.lang.String v)
      throws ParseException

Parse a String into the correct type for this input. This must be compatible with the Input.getString(Object) method.

Parameters:

v -

Returns:

Throws:

ParseException

getString

default java.lang.String getString()

get a String representation of the value in a form that is compatible with the way the input is parsed.

Returns:

String or null if no value

parse

default void parse(java.lang.String v)
            throws ParseException

Set the value of the input by parsing a textual representation of the input. Normally this defaults to using parseValue(String) and Input.setValue(Object) but it can be overridden for example if the natural parse mechanism generates an Item in an item input.

Parameters:

v -

Throws:

ParseException
