Class SignaturePartBuilder

java.lang.Object
  org.mockcentral.server.SignaturePartBuilder

public class SignaturePartBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

A class used to build an Object (or primitive value) to comprise a single Mock Object method parameter or expected result value, or a simple Object to be bound into the JNDI Context for the current Fixture. The extractObject method accepts a SignaturepartBean instance whose valueType field is used to determine the strategy for building the Object. This field value must correspond to one of the ValueType enum values. See the ValueType javadoc for details about the various strategies.
