public interface ICoercer

  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • coerceValue

      Object coerceValue(IType typeToCoerceTo, Object value)

    • isExplicitCoercion

      boolean isExplicitCoercion()

    • handlesNull

      boolean handlesNull()
      Returns:
      true if this coercer knows how to handle the null value.

    • getPriority

      int getPriority(IType to, IType from)
      Parameters:
      to -
      from -
      Returns:
      a value between 0 and MAX_PRIORITY, inclusive that indicates the priority of this coercer when resolving overloaded methods. Typically a coercer should return 0, but coercers that have a high affinity between the target and coerced type, such as primitives, can have higher priorities.
