        Returns true if a value for the given binding is available otherwise false will returned.
        Throws:
        de.uplanet.lucy.binding.InvalidBindingRuntimeException - if the binding string has an invalid format.
      • hasValue

        boolean hasValue​(IBindingKey p_binding)
        Checks if an value can resolved by the given binding and the value is not empty. The value returned by the getValue(String) is not empty (IIxValue.hasValue() == true).
        Parameters:
        p_binding - The binding to check (not null)
        Returns:
        Returns true if a value for the given binding is available otherwise false will returned.
        Throws:
