Method Detail

asStrings

public Collection<String> asStrings()

Description copied from interface: JiraDataType

Provides a string representation of this JiraDataType's actual types. A JiraDataType can declare that it is made up of distinct types and this is why we return a collection of string representations.

Specified by:

asStrings in interface JiraDataType

Returns:

string representation of this JiraDataTypes's actual types.

matches

public boolean matches(JiraDataType otherType)

Description copied from interface: JiraDataType

Determines if this type matches the passed in other JiraDataType.

This method runs through the data types and will return true if any of the types are equals to the other types.

This method should be reflexive, if a.match(b) == true then b.match(a) == true

There is a special case which is Object. This means all and any comparison against Object.class will return true for the match method.

Specified by:

matches in interface JiraDataType

Parameters:

otherType - the data type to compare to, not null.

Returns:

true if any of this types are assignable to the other types.

getTypes

public Collection<Class<?>> getTypes()

The actual java type's, represented via their Class, that this type is. This is not provided on the interface, if you need it you must cast the object to this implementation type.

Returns:

the Class's that this data type represents.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode
