Class ValueType<V>

java.lang.Object
  org.crsh.cli.type.ValueType<V>

Type Parameters:

V - the generic value type

Direct Known Subclasses:

PathValueType

public abstract class ValueType<V>
extends Object

Defines a type for values, this is used for transforming a textual value into a type, for command argument and options. A value type defines:

• The generic value type that is converted to.
• The implementation of the parse(Class, String) method that transforms the string into a value.
• An optional completer.

Field Summary

static ValueType<Boolean>	BOOLEAN Boolean.
protected Class<? extends Completer>	completer .
static ValueType<Enum>	ENUM Any Java enum.
static ValueType<File>	FILE A value type for files.

static ValueType<ObjectName>	OBJECT_NAME A JMX object name value type.
static ValueType<Properties>	PROPERTIES Properties as semi colon separated values.
static ValueType<String>	STRING Identity.
static ValueType<Thread>	THREAD A value type for threads.
protected Class<V>	type .

Constructor Summary
