Interface Typed

All Known Subinterfaces:: Item, JAFable, View

All Known Implementing Classes:: ItemImpl, ViewImpl

public interface Typed

simple interface denoting an object that can have a type assigned to it. At present, there is no distinction between the display name and internal representation of a type - it might prove useful to do so in future to provide faster indexing or several underlying types with the same display name (thinking here of java.util.Date and java.sql.Date). On the other hand, it might be a pain in the neck (thinking again of the same example)

Field Summary

static java.lang.String PROP_TYPE
          String that a Propertied object may use to store type information in

Method Summary

java.lang.String getType()
          denote the type of this item, used in the UI to differentiate between different sorts (e.g.

void setType(java.lang.String str)
          set the type of this item (or at least attempt to, its OK to ignore it if the type is deemed immutable)
