Constructor Detail

ArrayMetaType

public ArrayMetaType(int dimension,
                     MetaType elementType)

Construct an ArrayMetaType.

Parameters:

dimension - the number of dimensions in the array

elementType - the open type of the array elements

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for a null argument or non-negative dimension or when meta type is an ArrayMetaType

ArrayMetaType

public ArrayMetaType(SimpleMetaType elementType,
                     boolean primitiveArray)

Construct an ArrayMetaType.

Parameters:

elementType - the element type

primitiveArray - is primitive array

ArrayMetaType

public ArrayMetaType(int dimension,
                     MetaType elementType,
                     boolean primitiveArray)

Construct an ArrayMetaType.

Parameters:

dimension - the number of dimensions in the array

elementType - the open type of the array elements

primitiveArray - is primitive array

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - for a null argument or non-negative dimension or when meta type is an ArrayMetaType

Method Detail
