  • Method Details

    • getTypeName

      String getTypeName()
      name of variable type (limited to 100 characters length)

    • isCachable

      boolean isCachable()

      Indicates if this variable type supports caching.

      If caching is supported, the result of getValue(ValueFields) is saved for the duration of the session and used for subsequent reads of the variable's value.

      If caching is not supported, all reads of a variable's value require a fresh call to getValue(ValueFields).

      Returns:
      whether variables of this type are cacheable.
