Interface PrimitiveType

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Copy, Named, Qualifier, java.io.Serializable, Type, TypeObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

PaoPrimitiveType_c, PrimitiveType_c

public interface PrimitiveType
extends Type, Named

A PrimitiveType represents a type which may not be directly coerced to java.lang.Object (under the standard Java type system).

This class should never be instantiated directly. Instead, you should use the TypeSystem.get* methods.
