  - convertDecimalIntoInteger
```

    Parameters:
    decimalNumber - decimal number to be converted
    
    Returns:

    Attempts to extract a string value out of the field passed in, varies depending on field type
    If the field is a dataField, it will use its propertyName to retrieve a value, otherwise it will try to retrieve textual content out of various component types. If the field is a FieldGroup, only the first component's determined value will be used. This function is used for sorting.
    
    Parameters:
    model - the current model
    field - the field to get a value from
    
    Returns:
    the field's String value, false if it cant be determined

    Returns:
    true if the object (or underlying materialized object) is null, false otherwise
  - isNotNull

    true if the object (or underlying materialized object) is not null, true if its null
  - materializeClassForProxiedObject
```
public static Class materializeClassForProxiedObject(Object object)
```
    Attempts to find the Class for the given potentially proxied object
    
    Parameters:
    object - the potentially proxied object to find the Class of
    
    Returns:
    the best Class which could be found for the given object
  - materializeObjects
```
public static void materializeObjects(Collection possiblyProxiedObjects)
```
    This method runs the KRADUtils.isNotNull() method for each item in a list of BOs. KRADUtils.isNotNull() will materialize the objects if they are currently OJB proxies.
    
    Parameters:
    possiblyProxiedObjects - - a Collection of objects that may be proxies
  - getNestedAttributePrefix
```
public static String getNestedAttributePrefix(String attributeName)
```
    Returns the prefix of a nested attribute name, or the empty string if the attribute name is not nested.
    
    Parameters:
    attributeName -
    
    Returns:
    everything BEFORE the last "." character in attributeName
  - getNestedAttributePrimitive
```
public static String getNestedAttributePrimitive(String attributeName)
```
    Returns the primitive part of an attribute name string.
    
    Parameters:
    attributeName -
    
    Returns:
    everything AFTER the last "." character in attributeName
  - getNestedValue
```
public static Object getNestedValue(Object bo,
                    String fieldName)
```
    This method safely extracts either simple values OR nested values. For example, if the bo is SubAccount, and the fieldName is a21SubAccount.subAccountTypeCode, this thing makes sure it gets the value off the very end attribute, no matter how deeply nested it is. The code would be slightly simpler if this was done recursively, but this is safer, and consumes a constant amount of memory, no matter how deeply nested it goes.
    
    Parameters:
    bo -
    fieldName -
    
    Returns:
    The field value if it exists. If it doesnt, and the name is invalid, and
  - createNewObjectFromClass
```
public static <T> T createNewObjectFromClass(Class<T> clazz)
```
    This method safely creates a object from a class Convenience method to create new object and throw a runtime exception if it cannot If the class is an ExternalizableBusinessObject, this method will determine the interface for the EBO and query the appropriate module service to create a new instance.
    
    Parameters:
    clazz -
    
    Returns:
    a newInstance() of clazz
  - syncClientSideStateForComponent
```
public static void syncClientSideStateForComponent(Component component,
                                   Map<String,Object> clientSideState)
```
    Updates the properties of the given component instance with the value found from the corresponding map of client state (if found)
    
    Parameters:
    component - component instance to update
    clientSideState - map of state to sync with
