Method Detail

decodeDataType

public static String decodeDataType(DataType valueIn)

Returns a string object representing the value of a value belonging to the DataType class.

Parameters:

valueIn - Type of database column

Returns:

String indicating type of value

printObject

public static String printObject(Object o)

Prints an object that may belong to one of several classes.

The first step is to test if the object is equal to null, since you can't determine the class of a null object. If the object is equal to null, the string **null value** is returned.

Parameters:

o - Object to be printed

Returns:

String containing value of object
