Re: accessing schema validated values

[Geoff Granum <gr...@purdue.edu>]

Novice here, but how about setting a constant when the wrapper Object is 
created such that one can call a function and get an integer constant which 
represents the data type. For example

public static final int DOUBLE = 0, INT = 1, BOOLEAN = 2 ... etc;
protected int validatedValueType = -1;

public int getValidatedValueType() throws ...{
	if(validatedValueType == -1){
		throw new some_NotInitiatedException();
	}
	return validatedValueType
}

The value of validatedValueType is set when the Object representing the 
actual ValidatedValue is set.

Just a thought.
