Constructor Details

StringCachedClass

public StringCachedClass(ClassInfo classInfo)

Constructs a cached class representation for String.

Parameters:

classInfo - the class information associated with String

Method Details

isDirectlyAssignable

public boolean isDirectlyAssignable(Object argument)

Checks if the given argument is directly assignable to String.

Overrides:

isDirectlyAssignable in class CachedClass

Parameters:

argument - the argument to check

Returns:

true if the argument is an instance of String, false otherwise

isAssignableFrom

public boolean isAssignableFrom(Class classToTransformFrom)

Determines if the given class can be transformed to String. Accepts null, String, and GString subtypes.

Overrides:

isAssignableFrom in class CachedClass

Parameters:

classToTransformFrom - the source class to check

Returns:

true if the class can be transformed to String, false otherwise

coerceArgument

public Object coerceArgument(Object argument)

Coerces the given argument to String. Converts GString arguments to String by calling toString().

Overrides:

coerceArgument in class CachedClass

Parameters:

argument - the argument to coerce

Returns:

the argument as a String, or the original argument if not a GString
