Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Specified by:
getName in class Parameter
Returns:
the name of this parameter.

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()
Returns the parameter as found (as a String), without trying to coerce it to another type. If your field is Boolean or numeric, use getBoolean or one of getInt, getLong, getFloat, and getDouble instead.

Returns:
The value of this parameter as a String.

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean()
                   throws MalformedDataException
Tries to coerce the value of this parameter to a Boolean. A range of values (true, t, on, 1, y, yes) are interpreted as true, and a similar range (false, f, off, 0, no, n) as false. Everything else, including null, results in a MalformedDataException.

Returns:
The value of this parameter coerced to a Boolean.
Throws:
MalformedDataException - If the value cannot be coerced to a boolean.

getInt

public int getInt()
Coerces the value of this field to an int.

Returns:
An int parsed from this parameter's value.

getLong

public long getLong()
Coerces the value of this field to a long.

Returns:
A long parsed from this parameter's value.

getFloat

public float getFloat()
Coerces the value of this field to a float.

Returns:
A float parsed from this parameter's value.

getDouble

public double getDouble()
Coerces the value of this field to a double.

Returns:
A double parsed from this parameter's value.
