Method Detail

### getJavaTypeClass

    Class<T> getJavaTypeClass()

  Retrieve the Java type handled here.

  Returns:
    The Java type.

### getMutabilityPlan

    MutabilityPlan<T> getMutabilityPlan()

  Retrieve the mutability plan for this Java type.

  Returns:
    The mutability plan

### getComparator

    Comparator<T> getComparator()

  Retrieve the natural comparator for this type.

  Returns:
    The natural comparator.

### extractHashCode

    int extractHashCode(T value)

  Extract a proper hash code for this value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - The value for which to extract a hash code.
  Returns:
    The extracted hash code.

### areEqual

    boolean areEqual(T one,
                     T another)

  Determine if two instances are equal

  Parameters:
    `one` - One instance
    `another` - The other instance
  Returns:
    True if the two are considered equal; false otherwise.

### extractLoggableRepresentation

    String extractLoggableRepresentation(T value)

  Extract a loggable representation of the value.

  Parameters:
    `value` - The value for which to extract a loggable representation.
  Returns:
    The loggable representation

### toString

    String toString(T value)

### fromString

    T fromString(String string)

### unwrap

    <X> X unwrap(T value,
                 Class<X> type,
                 WrapperOptions options)

  Unwrap an instance of our handled Java type into the requested type.

  As an example, if this is a `JavaTypeDescriptor<Integer>` and we are asked to unwrap the `Integer value` as a `Long` we would return something like `Long.valueOf( value.longValue() )`.

  Intended use is during `PreparedStatement` binding.

  Type Parameters:
    `X` - The conversion type.
  Parameters:
    `value` - The value to unwrap
    `type` - The type as which to unwrap
    `options` - The options
  Returns:
    The unwrapped value.

### wrap

    <X> T wrap(X value,
               WrapperOptions options)

  Wrap a value as our handled Java type.

  Intended use is during `ResultSet` extraction.

  Type Parameters:
    `X` - The conversion type.
  Parameters:
    `value` - The value to wrap.
    `options` - The options
  Returns:
    The wrapped value.
