equalsNatural

public boolean equalsNatural(PHXSimpleType toCompare)
                      throws PHXTypeMismatchException

Compare this PHXSimpleType to another PHXSimpleType. This type of comparison is different than Comparable in that it does a natural comparison between numbers. It is not designed, nor suited, for use in things such as sets, and may behave oddly if put in those circumstances.

Specified by:

• equalsNatural in class PHXSimpleType

Parameters:

• toCompare -

Returns:

• a negative number if this object is less than toCompare, a positive number if this object is greater than toCompare, and zero if these two objects are equal.

Throws:

• PHXTypeMismatchException - if the given PHXSimpleType cannot be compared with this object.

fromObject

public void fromObject(java.lang.Object toRead)
                throws PHXInvalidTypeException

Load the value of this object from the specified object. This will read the object and attempt to convert it if it is a known type. If the type isn't recognized, it will throw a PHXInvalidTypeException. If there is an error in conversion, it will also throw a PHXInvalidTypeException

NOTE: while it might be logical to think you can create a PHX(Type)Array from, say, an array of java.lang.(Type), that is not currently supported. You MUST use the PHX string array formatting style.

Specified by:

• fromObject in class PHXSimpleType

Parameters:

• toRead - to object from which to load this objects value.

Throws:

• PHXInvalidTypeException- if the specified object is of an invalid type or there is an error in conversion.

Accept
