Method Detail

convertToValue

public static List<Object> convertToValue(MapiPropertyType mapiPropType,
                                          Iterator<String> strings)
                                   throws Exception

Converts the string list to array.

Parameters:

mapiPropType - Type of the MAPI property.

strings - the strings

Returns:

Array of objects.

Throws:

Exception - the exception

convertToValue

public static Object convertToValue(MapiPropertyType mapiPropType,
                                    String stringValue)
                             throws ServiceXmlDeserializationException,
                                    FormatException

Converts a string to value consistent with MAPI type.

Parameters:

mapiPropType - the mapi prop type

stringValue - the string value

Returns:

the object

Throws:

ServiceXmlDeserializationException - the service xml deserialization exception

FormatException - the format exception

convertToString

public static String convertToString(MapiPropertyType mapiPropType,
                                     Object value)

Converts a value to a string.

Parameters:

mapiPropType - the mapi prop type

value - the value

Returns:

String value.

changeType

public static Object changeType(MapiPropertyType mapiType,
                                Object value)
                         throws Exception

Change value to a value of compatible type.

Parameters:

mapiType - the mapi type

value - the value

Returns:

the object

Throws:

Exception - the exception

parseMapiIntegerValue

protected static Object parseMapiIntegerValue(String s)

Converts a MAPI Integer value. Usually the value is an integer but there are cases where the value has been "schematized" to an Enumeration value (e.g. NoData) which we have no choice but to fallback and represent as a string.

Parameters:

s - The string value.

Returns:

Integer value or the original string if the value could not be parsed as such.

isArrayType

public static boolean isArrayType(MapiPropertyType mapiType)

Determines whether MapiPropertyType is an array type.

Parameters:

mapiType - the mapi type

Returns:

true, if is array type

getMapiTypeConverterMap

public static Map<MapiPropertyType,MapiTypeConverterMapEntry> getMapiTypeConverterMap()

Gets the MAPI type converter map.

Returns:

the mapi type converter map
