Parameters:

pComponentType - the component type.

Method Detail

getTypeClass

public Class<Object[]> getTypeClass()

Returns the class used by this type.

Specified by:

valueOf in interface IType<Object[]>

Overrides:

valueOf in class AbstractType<Object[]>

Parameters:

pObject - the Object to convert
