Constructor Summary

BooleanDataType(String name, boolean primitive)
Constructor for a boolean datatype (either a primitive boolean type or the Boolean class).

Method Summary

protected Object

cast(Object value, Cloud cloud, Node node, Field field) Cast a bit more conservatively, because Casting aggressively casts everything to boolean, which would make nearly every value valid.
