Method Detail

get

DataType get(int type)

isValidType

boolean isValidType(int type)

isObject

boolean isObject(int type)

isContainer

boolean isContainer(int type)

getTypeName

String getTypeName(int type)

getType

int getType(String name)

getDefaultClass

Class getDefaultClass(int type)

getDataType

DataType getDataType(Class defaultClass)

Returns a DataType whose default class is the one provided. As there may be more than one DataType objects with the same default class, it will return only one of them.

Parameters:

defaultClass - the default class of the data type asked

Returns:

the DataType whose default class is the one provided.
