How does "any" type work with basic types like string?

I am trying to use a switch clause to define what to do depending on the real type of a variable of type "any", my code is crashing. The code is the next:

handleResponse(any.parseType("string",respValuesRaw[type]), currEPIFace);
...
...
...
action handleResponse(any response, CurrentExtraParamsInteface currEPIFace){

switch(response){
    case string:
        {}

The error I am getting is: "ParseException - Error in ParseType() method: Unable to parse string: missing opening quote"

However, the respValuesRaw variable is a dictionary of type <string,string>

This is on Apama 10.1.

Any idea of what could be wrong?

Solution

  • I found out this kind of parsing is not ment to be used with basic types, so I changed the way I call the handleResponse action:

    handleResponse("string", currEPIFace);

    Actually, any string value will fit.
