Class Quantity

java.lang.Object
  extended bywt.part.Quantity
All Implemented Interfaces:
Externalizable, NetFactor, ObjectMappable, Serializable

public final class Quantity
extends Object
implements ObjectMappable, Externalizable

This structured attribute class represents the concept of quantity as an amount and a QuantityUnit (unit of measure).

Use the newQuantity static factory method(s), not the Quantity constructor, to construct instances of this class. Instances must be constructed using the static factory(s), in order to ensure proper initialization of the instance.



Supported API: true

Extendable: false
