Constructor Detail

ComplexValue

public ComplexValue()

See ComplexValue(boolean, ComplexType).

ComplexValue

public ComplexValue(boolean withDefaults)

See ComplexValue(boolean, ComplexType).

Parameters:

withDefaults - WithDefaults parameter.

ComplexValue

public ComplexValue(boolean withDefaults,
                    ComplexType type)

Construct a new complex value. This constructor is intended for use by custom complex value subclasses. Use ComplexValue.ofType for regular construction.

Parameters:

type - (nullable) Complex type. Should not be null except when called by generated proxy base classes.

withDefaults - Should ComplexValue.setDefaultValues be called to initialize properties with default values?

Method Detail

castOptional

public static ComplexValue castOptional(DataValue value)

For internal use only.

Parameters:

value - (internal use only)

Returns:

(internal use only)

castRequired

public static ComplexValue castRequired(DataValue value)

For internal use only.

Parameters:

value - (internal use only)

Returns:

(internal use only)

copyComplex

public ComplexValue copyComplex()

Return a copy of this complex value (only structural properties are copied).

Returns:

A copy of this complex value (only structural properties are copied).

equal

public static boolean equal(ComplexValue a,
                            ComplexValue b)

Return true if two complex values have equal structural properties.

Parameters:

a - (nullable) First complex value.

b - (nullable) Second complex value.

Returns:

true if two complex values have equal structural properties.

getComplexType

public ComplexType getComplexType()

Return the complex type metadata for this value (ComplexValue.dataType cast to ComplexType).

Returns:

The complex type metadata for this value (ComplexValue.dataType cast to ComplexType).

getDataType

public DataType getDataType()

Return data type with a DataType.code of DataType.COMPLEX_VALUE.

Specified by:

getDataType in class DataValue

Returns:

Data type with a DataType.code of DataType.COMPLEX_VALUE.

getOldComplex

public ComplexValue getOldComplex()

Return (nullable) Contains the original values for all structural properties of this complex value. Used by DataService.updateEntity to determine the changed properties for PATCH requests.

Returns:

(nullable) Contains the original values for all structural properties of this complex value.

getTypeCode

public int getTypeCode()

Return data type code of the wrapped value, equivalent to dataType.code.

Overrides:

getTypeCode in class DataValue

Returns:

Data type code of the wrapped value, equivalent to dataType.code.

isNewOrChanged

public boolean isNewOrChanged(Property property)

Return true if the value of property property is new or changed, relative to ComplexValue.oldComplex.

Specified by:

isNewOrChanged in class StructureBase

Parameters:

property - Structural property.

Returns:

true if the value of property property is new or changed, relative to ComplexValue.oldComplex.

ofType

public static ComplexValue ofType(ComplexType type)

Construct a new complex value of the specified type.

Parameters:

type - Complex type for the new value.

Returns:

A new complex value.

setOldComplex

public void setOldComplex(ComplexValue value)

Set contains the original values for all structural properties of this complex value. Used by DataService.updateEntity to determine the changed properties for PATCH requests.

Parameters:

value - Contains the original values for all structural properties of this complex value.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Convert this data value to a string. If the ComplexValue.dataType is defined by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, then the corresponding lexical format is used. JSON format is used for structured values (arrays and objects).

Specified by:

toString in class DataValue

Returns:

Lexical representation of this data value.
