Hi Thomas,
hmm, thought the current implementation would already be working the way you want to change it now.
And when I look at the code, it seems to be right there (?)
Cheers,
Andreas

Betreff: [smila-dev] Datamodel: Value.asXXX methods should autoconvert fromstring
hi,
I just noticed that the asXXX()conversion methods don’t autoconvert from string, e.g. the ValueType is STRING but the value is "true" and I'm calling asBoolean() . I think and propose to extend the current impl. to try to convert strings to the resquested type and if that fails throw an InvalidValueTypeException as is done now immediately.
pro: SMILA becomes more fault tolerant regarding configuration
cons: support for sloppy configuration style resulting in performance degradation
how do u see this proposal and should we do this?
me: +1 – of course!
