Class AnyTypeInputField

java.lang.Object
  org.dlese.dpc.schemedit.input.InputField
      org.dlese.dpc.schemedit.input.AnyTypeInputField

public class AnyTypeInputField
extends InputField

Helper for translating between http request parameters and metadata elements.

The metadata editor creates request parameters named for the accessor each field uses to obtain its value (e.g., valueOf(/itemRecord/lifecycle/contributors/contributor_2_/person/nameLast)). This class stores information derived from the parameterName, such as the SchemaNode for this field, and provides information about this node that aids in the processing of its value.
