public interface ArrayType

Method Summary

int	getDimensions()
java.lang.Class<?>	getInnerType()
java.lang.String	getSeparator(int dimension)
java.lang.Object	parseComponent(java.lang.String s) Parse a string representing an element of the underlying array.
int	size(int dimension)

Method Detail

getDimensions

int getDimensions()

Returns:

the number of dimensions in this array

getInnerType

java.lang.Class<?> getInnerType()

Returns:

the type of each element of this array

getSeparator

java.lang.String getSeparator(int dimension)
                              throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension for which the separator is wanted

Returns:

The character used to separate array values when displaying the value as a String

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

parseComponent

java.lang.Object parseComponent(java.lang.String s)
                                throws java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

Parse a string representing an element of the underlying array. Note that this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException by default, therefore the implementation must be provided by overriding classes

Parameters:

s - the string to parse

Returns:

a primitive type representing the given string

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

size

int size(int dimension)
         throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension along which the size is wanted

Returns:

the size of the array in the specified dimension,or -1 if the array is null

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if the dimension does not exist
