Parameters:

dataType - the target prefixed data type (e.g. d:int) which the string value should be converted to

value - non-empty string value

Throws:

InvalidQNameException - if the dataType is not a valid QName prefixed string (prefix:type )

AlfrescoRuntimeException - if the given value cannot be converted into the given data type, or the data type is unknown
