Method Detail

getInstance

public static BooleanAttribute getInstance(Node root)
                                    throws ParsingException

Returns a BooleanAttribute that represents the xs:boolean at a particular DOM node.

Parameters:

root - the Node that contains the desired value

Returns:

a BooleanAttribute representing the appropriate value (null if there is a parsing error)

Throws:

ParsingException

getInstance

public static BooleanAttribute getInstance(String value)
                                    throws ParsingException

Returns a BooleanAttribute that represents the xs:boolean value indicated by the string provided.

Parameters:

value - a string representing the desired value

Returns:

a BooleanAttribute representing the appropriate value (null if there is a parsing error)

Throws:

ParsingException

getInstance

public static BooleanAttribute getInstance(boolean value)

Returns a BooleanAttribute that represents the boolean value provided.

Parameters:

value - a boolean representing the desired value

Returns:

a BooleanAttribute representing the appropriate value

getTrueInstance

public static BooleanAttribute getTrueInstance()

Returns a BooleanAttribute that represents a true value.

Returns:

a BooleanAttribute representing a true value

getFalseInstance

public static BooleanAttribute getFalseInstance()

Returns a BooleanAttribute that represents a false value.

Returns:

a BooleanAttribute representing a false value

getValue

public boolean getValue()

Returns the boolean value represented by this object.

Returns:

the boolean value

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns true if the input is an instance of this class and if its value equals the value contained in this class.

Parameters:

o - the object to compare

Returns:

true if this object and the input represent the same value

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hashcode value used to index and compare this object with others of the same type. Typically this is the hashcode of the backing data object.

Returns:

the object's hashcode value

encode

public String encode()

Description copied from class: AttributeValue

Encodes the value in a form suitable for including in XML data like a request or an obligation. This must return a value that could in turn be used by the factory to create a new instance with the same value.

Specified by:

encode in class AttributeValue

Returns:

a String form of the value
