Class PRStringFormat

java.lang.Object
  com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.PRStringFormat

public class PRStringFormat
extends java.lang.Object

PRStringFormat contains methods that convert between Java types and PegaRULES standard String formats used in conjunction with ClipboardProperty values. These methods may be of use to authors of JavaProperty interfaces to convert between PegaRULES formats and their internal values.

Note that the String to Java type conversions deal exclusively with standard PegaRULES formats and do not apply the heuristics used in conjunction with PegaRULES input processing or ClipboardProperty. validation.

Note that a null value object must never be passed to these methods -- no check for null is made and a NullPointerException will be thrown if a value is missing.
