Method Detail

getType

public java.lang.Class<uk.ac.ed.epcc.webapp.model.data.reference.IndexedReference> getType()

Description copied from interface: ValueParser

Returns the Class of object this ValueParser can handle. The ValueParser.parse(String) method must return objects that are assignable to this type. The #format(T) method can format any object assignable to this type. The returned class will be the exact Class (i.e. not a subclass) of this ValueParser's type

Specified by:

getType in interface ValueFormatter<uk.ac.ed.epcc.webapp.model.data.reference.IndexedReference>

Specified by:

getType in interface ValueParser<uk.ac.ed.epcc.webapp.model.data.reference.IndexedReference>

Returns:

The Type of this ValueParser
