Constructor Detail

IlvAttributeInfoProperty

public IlvAttributeInfoProperty(String[] attributeNames,
                                Class[] attributeClasses,
                                boolean[] nullable)

Creates a new IlvAttributeInfoProperty with the specified attribute names and classes.
To ensure that the attributes are saved and read correctly, the classes of the attributes must either:

• have a public constructor that takes a String as its argument. The attributes are saved as the String returned by the toString method. These attributes are built with this String when they are read. Following are examples of valid classes: java.lang.String, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Float, java.lang.Boolean.
• implement the IlvPersistentObject interface.

Parameters:

attributeNames - The names of the attributes

attributeClasses - The classes of the attributes.

nullable - A boolean array that takes the true value for the attributes that can have a null value (these attributes are optional).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the arrays of names, classes, and nullable values have different lengths.
