Method Detail

getValueType

public <T> ch.agent.crnickl.api.ValueType<T> getValueType(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Database database,
                                                 String name)
                                               throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Find a value type with a given name.

Parameters:

database - a database

name - a string

Returns:

a value type or null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getValueTypes

public Collection<ch.agent.crnickl.api.ValueType<?>> getValueTypes(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Database database,
                                                          String pattern)
                                                            throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Find a collection of value types with names matching a pattern. If the pattern is enclosed in slashes it is taken as a standard regexp pattern; the slashes will be removed. If it is not enclosed in slashes, it is taken as a minimal pattern and all occurrences of "*" will be replaced with ".*" (zero or more arbitrary characters).

Parameters:

database - a database

pattern - a simple pattern or a regexp pattern

Returns:

a collection of value types, possibly empty, never null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

getValueType

public <T> ch.agent.crnickl.api.ValueType<T> getValueType(ch.agent.crnickl.api.Surrogate s)
                                               throws ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException

Find a value type corresponding to a surrogate.

Parameters:

s - a surrogate

Returns:

a value type or null

Throws:

ch.agent.crnickl.T2DBException
