Method Detail

convertLiteral

public char[] convertLiteral(java.lang.String literal)
                      throws ConversionException

Converts a literal representation of a value from the lexical space into a value in the value space.

Parameters:

literal - The literal value in the lexical space to convert.

Returns:

The converted value in the value space, or null if the given literal is null.

Throws:

ConversionException - if the literal value cannot be converted.

convertValue

public java.lang.String convertValue(char[] value)
                              throws ConversionException

Converts a value from the value space to a literal value in the lexical space. This version creates a new string based upon the character array value.

Specified by:

convertValue in interface Converter<char[],java.lang.String>

Overrides:

convertValue in class AbstractStringLiteralConverter<char[]>

Parameters:

value - The value in the value space to convert.

Returns:

The converted value in the lexical space, or null if the given literal is null.

Throws:

ConversionException - if the value cannot be converted.

isEquivalent

public boolean isEquivalent(char[] value,
                            java.lang.String literal)

Determines if the given literal in the lexical space is a valid representation of the given value in the value space. This implementation converts the value to a string and compares taht string with the literal value.

Specified by:

isEquivalent in interface Converter<char[],java.lang.String>

Overrides:

isEquivalent in class AbstractConverter<char[],java.lang.String>

Parameters:

value - The value to compare.

literal - The literal value in the lexical space to compare with the value after conversion.

Returns:

true if the given literal in the lexical space is a valid representation of the given value in the value space.
