Class MapType

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable
    public class MapType
extends Type
    This type represents a typed map. Both argument type and element type is typed.

    Map types fulfil s special role describing localized attributes since each localized attribute must point to a map type having the Language composed type as argument type and the actual attribute type as return type.

      • isAssignableFrom

        public boolean isAssignableFrom​(Type type)
        Checks if this maptype is assignable from another maptype.

        This is true if its argument type is assignable from the other type's argument type and its element type is assignable from the other type's element type.

        Specified by:
        isAssignableFrom in class Type
        Parameters:
        type - the type to be checked.

      • isInstance

        public boolean isInstance​(java.lang.Object o)
        Checks if a given object is instance of this maptype.

        This is true if the object is a map and each key is instance of the argument type and each value is instance of the element type.

        Specified by:
        isInstance in class Type
        Parameters:
        o - the object to be checked.

      • typeCheckContent

        public boolean typeCheckContent​(java.util.Map map)
        Helper method for isInstance(Object). Checks content of a map if it is compatible with the argument and element type.

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        The string representation of this map type.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Type
        Returns:
        the String representation of this item.
