Method Detail

getAs

public static <T> T getAs(Object value,
                          Class<T> type)
                   throws ParseException

Parameters:

value - object to cast

type - class to cast object as

Returns:

if possible returns value cast as class type

Throws:

ParseException - if a value can not be parsed
