All record objects and table Peer objects will have a getTableMap() function. You can use this to access all the schema information. E.g.:
rec.getTableMap().getColumn(fieldName).getType(); Will return a "sample object" of the same type as the field. Note that the XML can defined the objects being returned via the getFieldName() methods as primitives. Since you can't return a primitive, the getType() returns the Object version of the primitive. You may need to check the usePrimitive property to verify the actual type. > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Tilsted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2008 5:27 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Get type of fields in auto generated classse > > Is there a way to make a method, that given a field name, and > any auto generated object, can return the type of that field? > > Something like > boolean isFieldAnInteger(BaseObject obj,String fieldName) { > // What here.
