Class UnknownTypeValue

  • public class UnknownTypeValue
extends java.lang.Object
    Represents a value with an unknown type. The value is stored as a String representation - the representation used in IQL. It is presumed that these unknown type values are converted into typed values before the Query is finished constructing. Therefore, these objects are merely a temporary placeholder for values before their type is inferred.
