- Method Detail
  - getChoices
```
Class<?>[] getChoices()
```
    Gets the choices
    
    Returns:
    
    the potential types
  - convert
```
Object convert(Object obj)
```
    Yet another hack in order to use our FeatureType. Converts object to the "real" attribute type.
    Best to explain by Example.
    Consider a choice between Polygon and MultiPolygon. It doesn't make sense to be a Geometry Attribute Type since normal attribute type inspection will allow users/clients to set Points and lines as legal attribute. For parsing purposes, this make the FeatureType a little more accurate. It is not perfect of course since The choice Line, Polygon and MultiPolygon still has to be of Type Geometry but it is a little better.
