Class StringEncodedType<T>

java.lang.Object

io.permazen.core.FieldType<T>

io.permazen.core.type.NullSafeType<T>

io.permazen.core.type.StringEncodedType<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The associated Java type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparator<T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

FileType, InternetAddressType, PatternType, URIType, ZoneIdType

public class StringEncodedType<T>
extends NullSafeType<T>

A FieldType implementation for any Java type that can be encoded uniquely as a String. A Converter is used to convert between native and String forms.

This class provides a convenient way to implement custom FieldTypes. Null values are supported and null is the default value. This type will sort instances according to the lexicographical sort order of their String encodings; null will sort last.

The supplied Converter must be Serializable in order for an instance of this class to also be Serializable.

Constructor Detail

StringEncodedType

public StringEncodedType(Class<T> type,
                         long signature,
                         Converter<T,String> converter)

Convenience constructor. Uses the name of the type as this FieldType's type name.

Parameters:

type - represented Java type

signature - binary encoding signature (in this case, String encoding signature)

converter - converts between native form and String form; should be Serializable

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if converter does not convert null to null

IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is null

StringEncodedType

public StringEncodedType(String name,
                         Class<T> type,
                         long signature,
                         Converter<T,String> converter)

Primary constructor.

Parameters:

name - the name for this FieldType

type - represented Java type

signature - binary encoding signature (in this case, String encoding signature)

converter - converts between native form and String form; should be Serializable

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if converter does not convert null to null

IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is null
