Direct Known Subclasses:

ObjectSimpleType, PrimitiveSimpleType

public abstract class SimpleType<T>
extends Object

A simple type as exposed to the programming model. A simple type is defined by:

• The simple type kind which is the underlying data semantic
• The object type which is java type for object representing the type
• The real type which is the java type as wanted by the model meta data
• The primitiveness of the type

The real type is most of the time used when there is a need for creating arrays with a component type equals to the real type.
