FTVAL

FTVAL extends Object. FTVAL is not an interface, but is a class used to abstract various data types to allow them to be passed between components of the Content Server environment as items in an FTValList.

An FTVAL object can only be created indirectly. The usual procedure is to use the various methods in FTValList to add elements to the list. These methods will internally create the appropriate FTVAL objects and add them to the FTValList. There are also a number of methods that build and return FTValList objects, and some methods that return FTVAL objects.

The FTValList.getVal method is the usual way to get an FTVAL object itself.
