Method Detail

getBinaryValue

public BinaryValue getBinaryValue()

The value as a BinaryValue.

Returns

The binary value.

getOrderedPosition

public int getOrderedPosition()

If multivalued properties, the position dictates the order

Returns

The ordered position.

setOrderedPosition

public void setOrderedPosition(int position)

getBooleanValue

public Boolean getBooleanValue()

The value as a Boolean.

Returns

The boolean value.

getCalendarValue

public Calendar getCalendarValue()

The value as a Calendar.

Returns

The calendar value.

getDoubleValue

public Double getDoubleValue()

The value as a Double.

Returns

The double value.

getLinkValue

public ID getLinkValue()

The value as a Link node ID.

Returns

The link value.

getLongValue

public Long getLongValue()

The value as a Long.

Returns

The long value.

getStringValue

public String getStringValue()

The value as a String.

Returns

The string value.

getNestedValue

public Property[] getNestedValue()

The value as an array of Property objects, a nested type.

Returns

The nested value array.

getValueByType

public Object getValueByType(int type)

Return the correct value based on the type. The user will then cast it to the appropriate object.

Parameters

type - The type.

Returns

The value.

getValue

public Object getValue()

Gets the Value as an Object.

Returns

The value.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object obj)

Compares this PropertyChoices to obj. This performs a native compare on all types, except Calendar is compared based on the time in milliseconds and BinaryValue is compared by name.

Parameters

obj - the Object to be compared.

Returns

the int value 0 if the Value being compared is equal to the argument Object; a value less than 0 if the Value being compared is somehow (this varies depending on the specific type of value) less than the argument Object; and a value greater than 0 if the Value being compared is somehow greater than the argument Object (signed comparison).

toString

public String toString()

Returns the Value as a String, except if the value is Binary, in which case mimeType, name and size is returned.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

clone

public Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Clones a value. Note that binary value stream values are not cloned, but merely copied.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns

A clone of the value.

Throws

CloneNotSupportedException - If the clone fails.
