doubleValue
Returns the value of this parameter as a double. A null string value, if permitted, will give a NaN result.- Parameters:
env
- execution environment- Returns:
- double value
- Throws:
TaskException
-
setDoubleDefault
public void setDoubleDefault(double dflt) Sets the default value as a floating point value.- Parameters:
dflt
- new default value
-
setMinimum
public void setMinimum(double min, boolean inclusive) Sets the minimum acceptable value for this parameter.- Parameters:
min
- minimum valueinclusive
- true iffmin
itself is permitted
-
setMaximum
public void setMaximum(double max, boolean inclusive) Sets the maximum acceptable value for this parameter.- Parameters:
max
- maximum valueinclusive
- true iffmax
itself is permitted
-
stringToObject
Description copied from class:Parameter
Takes a non-blank string, as supplied by the execution environment, and turns it into a typed value for this parameter. This method also performs validation, so if the string value is unacceptable in any way, a ParameterValueException should be thrown.It is an error to supply a null or empty string value.
If this method fails (throws a ParameterValueException) and if
allowClassnameValue
is set, then a subsequent attempt will be made to interpret thestringVal
as the classname of a suitable class with a no-arg constructor.- Specified by:
stringToObject
in classParameter<Double>
- Parameters:
env
- execution environment; in most cases this is not required but for some purposes environment-specific characteristics may influence the resultstringval
- non-null, non-empty string value- Returns:
- typed value
- Throws:
TaskException
-
setValueFromString
As a special case, setting the value of this parameter with a null or empty string will result in a NaN value.- Overrides:
setValueFromString
in classParameter<Double>
- Parameters:
env
- execution environment; in most cases this is not required but for some purposes environment-specific characteristics may influence the resultstringval
- string representation of value- Throws:
TaskException
