Constructor Detail

StringType

public StringType()

This constructor should only be called once per session, through a static initializer, typically in TypeRegistry.

To get the instance of this type object for use in translations, call TypeRegistry.get("java.lang.String").

Method Detail

getInstance

public java.lang.String getInstance(java.lang.String value)

Just return the value itself. A transparent pass-through.

Specified by:
