public class TypesHelper
extends Object

A helper with constants for the various types and operators for configurable entity properties.

In general, there are 6 types of properties for configurable entities, represented by constants on this class. Each of those types corresponds to a Java object type as follows:

Constant Name	Constant Value	Class
BOOLEAN	0	java.lang.Boolean
INTEGER	1	java.lang.Long
FLOAT	2	java.lang.Double
TEXT	3	java.lang.String
DATETIME	4	java.sql.Timestamp
USER_DEFINED	5	java.lang.Object

Additionally, a property can also be multi-valued, in which case the value will be a java.util.Collection of objects of the property's type (e.g. java.lang.String's).

This class provides utility methods to get string representations of the type names, to determine a type from a java.sql.Type, and to get the list of comparision operators for a certain type.
