Nested Class Summary

static class

DataOperations.DataOperation

Method Summary

<R extends DataType,O extends DataType> R	doAdd(O operand)
<O extends DataType> java.util.Set<DataOperations.DataOperation>	getNativeCapability(java.lang.Class<O> c)
<O extends DataType> java.util.Set<DataOperations.DataOperation>	getTranslatedCapability(java.lang.Class<O> c) Returns a set of capabilities that this DataOperations object can perform on specified data type by use of this interface do* operation.

Method Detail

getTranslatedCapability

<O extends DataType> java.util.Set<DataOperations.DataOperation> getTranslatedCapability(java.lang.Class<O> c)

Returns a set of capabilities that this DataOperations object can perform on specified data type by use of this interface do* operation. Translated operations are the ones that are performed by calling of one of the methods supplied by this interface as opposed to java native operations which do not require a special call, but simply be used directly in java.

Type Parameters:

O - right operand type

Parameters:

c - class of the right operand

Returns:

set of capabilities that this data type can perform on the operand

getNativeCapability

<O extends DataType> java.util.Set<DataOperations.DataOperation> getNativeCapability(java.lang.Class<O> c)

doAdd

<R extends DataType,O extends DataType> R doAdd(O operand)
