A PrimitiveAttribute is an abstract class for an attribute in a Content Server Category which represents a primitive data type such as a String or Integer. For each primitive attribute type, the Values property is an array of the primitive type values. The ValidValues property is an array of valid values for the attribute. In a user interface, this list may be represented by a popup-list for selection.

Method Detail

load

public void load(com.opentext.api.LLValue value)

Description copied from interface: IServiceDataObject

Deserialize an ServiceDataObject from an LLValue that is received from Livelink. The LLValue is an Assoc that contains all of the features of this SDO. These features may refer to other SDOs and contain arrays of primitive values or SDOs. Each referenced SDO, will have its load() method called as well. Note: this is an internal method not meant to be called by clients.

Specified by:

load in interface IServiceDataObject

Overrides:

load in class Attribute

Parameters:

value - the LLValue containing the data to be loaded

toLLValue

public com.opentext.api.LLValue toLLValue()

Description copied from interface: IServiceDataObject

Serialize an SDO object to an LLValue that can be sent to Livelink. Each feature of the SDO is stored in a key of the LLValue Assoc. Any references to other SDOs cause their toLLValue() method to be called. Note: this is an internal method not meant to be called by clients.

Specified by:

toLLValue in interface IServiceDataObject

Overrides:

toLLValue in class Attribute

Returns:

Returns the LLValue object that represents this SDO

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Description copied from class: ServiceDataObject

Returns a string representation of the object consisting of the object name and any features and their values within square brackets. Intended for simple debugging or logging of an SDO.
