Interface Parameter

    • Method Detail

      • getType

        int getType()
        The type identifier of the parameter (usually one of the constant values in ISCConstants).
        Returns:
        The type of the parameter
      • getValueAsString

        java.lang.String getValueAsString()
        The value of the parameter as String.

        The implementation may throw a RuntimeException if the parameter isn't a string (or shouldn't be used as a string).

        Returns:
        The value as string
      • getValueAsInt

        int getValueAsInt()
        The value of the parameter as int.

        The implementation may throw a RuntimeException if the parameter isn't an int (or shouldn't be used as an int).

        Returns:
        The value as int
      • getValueAsLong

        long getValueAsLong()
        The value of the parameter as long.

        The implementation may throw a RuntimeException if the parameter isn't a long (or shouldn't be used as a long).

        Returns:
        The value as long
      • copyTo

        void copyTo​(ParameterBuffer buffer,
                    Encoding stringEncoding)
        Copies this argument into the supplied buffer, uses the supplied Encoding for string arguments.

        An instance of Parameter should know how to copy itself into another buffer (eg an instance of StringArgument would know to call ParameterBuffer.addArgument(int, String, Encoding)).

        The parameter does not need to check if it is the right type of destination buffer (if someone tries to add a TPB argument to a DPB he is free to try that).

        Parameters:
        buffer - ParameterBuffer instance
        stringEncoding - Encoding to use for string properties. A value of null can be used to signal that the original encoding should be used.
