JSON type question

Steve Thompson

I'm trying to write a test code helper method for selecting a row in a given table. Noticing that the JSON created when I click a row in a table is this:

PID5 (class com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.client.ui.VScrollTable) :
firstvisible (i) : 168
clearSelections (b) : true
selected (c) : 180

I wanted to create a changeVariables map to send to a table. My problem is with types. I know that in the above (i) is int and (b) bool, but what is (c) ... surely not char? Is there a list of these definitions somewhere?

Let me know and best regards,

Steve Thompson

c is an array of Strings. The ultimate reference for the datatypes is the java method that decodes the values on the server: AbstractCommunicationManager.convertVariableValue. These constants are used:

private static final char VTYPE_PAINTABLE = 'p';
    private static final char VTYPE_BOOLEAN = 'b';
    private static final char VTYPE_DOUBLE = 'd';
    private static final char VTYPE_FLOAT = 'f';
    private static final char VTYPE_LONG = 'l';
    private static final char VTYPE_INTEGER = 'i';
    private static final char VTYPE_STRING = 's';
    private static final char VTYPE_ARRAY = 'a';
    private static final char VTYPE_STRINGARRAY = 'c';
    private static final char VTYPE_MAP = 'm';
