        public java.lang.Boolean stringToObject​(Environment env,
                                                java.lang.String stringval)
                                         throws ParameterValueException
        Description copied from class: Parameter
        Takes a non-blank string, as supplied by the execution environment, and turns it into a typed value for this parameter. This method also performs validation, so if the string value is unacceptable in any way, a ParameterValueException should be thrown.

        It is an error to supply a null or empty string value.

        If this method fails (throws a ParameterValueException) and if allowClassnameValue is set, then a subsequent attempt will be made to interpret the stringVal as the classname of a suitable class with a no-arg constructor.

        Specified by:
        stringToObject in class Parameter<java.lang.Boolean>
        Parameters:
        env - execution environment; in most cases this is not required but for some purposes environment-specific characteristics may influence the result
        stringval - non-null, non-empty string value
        Returns:
        typed value
        Throws:
        ParameterValueException
