Class DoubleProperty

    • Method Detail

      • isNormalized

        public boolean isNormalized​(Object value)
        Description copied from interface: Property
        Checks if the given value is a normalized one. This means the value has a type that is normalized.

        Null values are considered as normalized.

        Specified by:
        isNormalized in interface Property
        Overrides:
        isNormalized in class AbstractProperty
        Parameters:
        value - the value to check
        Returns:
        true if the value is normalized false otherwise
      • normalize

        public Serializable normalize​(Object value)
        Description copied from interface: Property
        Normalizes the given value as dictated by the property type.

        Normalized values are the ones that are used for transportation over the net and that are given to the storage implementation to be stored in the repository

        Normalized values must be Serializable

        If the given value is already normalized it will be returned back.

        Specified by:
        normalize in interface Property
        Overrides:
        normalize in class AbstractProperty
        Parameters:
        value - the value to normalize according to the property type
        Returns:
        the normalized value
      • convertTo

        public <T> T convertTo​(Serializable value,
                               Class<T> toType)
        Description copied from interface: Property
        Converts the given normalized value to the given type.

        If the value has already the given type it will be returned back.

        Specified by:
        convertTo in interface Property
        Overrides:
        convertTo in class AbstractProperty
        Parameters:
        value - the normalized value to convert
        toType - the conversion type
        Returns:
        the converted value, which may be null
      • newInstance

        public Object newInstance()
        Description copied from interface: Property
        Creates a new and empty instance of a normalized value.

        Empty is used in the sense of a value that has not been initialized or can be considered as an empty value. For example for the String type the empty value will be the empty string ""

        Specified by:
        newInstance in interface Property
        Overrides:
        newInstance in class AbstractProperty
        Returns:
        the empty instance the empty instance, or null for some implementations
