XPathException

HexBinaryValue

public HexBinaryValue(byte[] value)

Constructor: create a hexBinary value from a given array of bytes

Method Detail

convert

public AtomicValue convert(int requiredType)
                    throws XPathException

Convert to target data type

Specified by:

convert in class AtomicValue

Parameters:

requiredType - an integer identifying the required atomic type

Returns:

an AtomicValue, a value of the required type

Throws:

XPathException - if the conversion is not possible

getStringValue

Determine the data type of the exprssion

Returns:

Type.HEX_BINARY_TYPE

conversionPreference

public int conversionPreference(Class required)

Get conversion preference for this value to a Java class. A low result indicates higher preference.

Overrides:

conversionPreference in class AtomicValue

convertToJava
