Interface ParameterMap

All Superinterfaces:

org.springframework.binding.collection.MapAdaptable<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalParameterMap, MockParameterMap

public interface ParameterMap
extends org.springframework.binding.collection.MapAdaptable<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object>

An interface for accessing parameters in a backing map. Parameters are immutable and have string keys and string values.

The accessor methods offered by this class taking a target type argument only need to support conversions to well know types like String, Number subclasses, Boolean and so on.
