Method Detail

conforms

boolean conforms(Object target,
                 String property,
                 Object value,
                 IEolContext context)
          throws EolIllegalPropertyException

Indicates whether the specified value is permitted for this property. For example, the value "John Doe" would conform for a string-typed property with lowerbound <= 1 and upperbound >= 1. The precise semantics of conformance differ between types of model.

Throws:

EolIllegalPropertyException - when getObject is not a valid model object or when getProperty is not a property that getObject knows about.

coerce

Object coerce(Object target,
              String property,
              Object value,
              IEolContext context)
       throws EolIllegalPropertyException

Coerces the given value such that it is permitted for this property. For example, in EMF single values can be stored in many-valued features only when they are first stored in a collection.

Throws:

EolIllegalPropertyException - when getObject is not a valid model object or when getProperty is not a property that getObject knows about.

coerce

default Object coerce(Object target,
                      String property,
                      Object value)
               throws EolIllegalPropertyException

This method is provided only for convenience. Implementations should override the coerce(Object, String, Object, IEolContext) method instead. Callers should prefer the conforms(Object, String, Object, IEolContext) where possible.

Parameters:

target -

property -

value -

Returns:

Throws:

EolIllegalPropertyException

1.6

conforms

default Object conforms(Object target,
                        String property,
                        Object value)
                 throws EolIllegalPropertyException

This method is provided only for convenience. Implementations should override the conforms(Object, String, Object, IEolContext) method instead. Callers should prefer the conforms(Object, String, Object, IEolContext) where possible.

Parameters:

target -

property -

value -

Returns:

Throws:

EolIllegalPropertyException
