Method Detail

getValueAsString
```
String getValueAsString()
```

setValueAsString

void setValueAsString(String theValue)
               throws IllegalArgumentException

Throws:: IllegalArgumentException

getValue
```
T getValue()
```

setValue

IPrimitiveType<T> setValue(T theValue)
                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Throws:: IllegalArgumentException

hasValue
```
boolean hasValue()
```

toValueOrNull

@Nullable
static <T> T toValueOrNull(@Nullable
                           IPrimitiveType<T> thePrimitiveType)

If the supplied argument is non-null, returns the results of getValue(). If the supplied argument is null, returns null.
