Method Detail

getConvertBean

public ConvertBean getConvertBean()

Returns ConvertBean.

registerDefaults

public void registerDefaults()

Registers default set of converters.

register

public void register(java.lang.Class type,
            TypeConverter typeConverter)

Registers a converter for specified type. User must register converter for all super-classes as well.

Parameters:

type - class that converter is for

typeConverter - converter for provided class

unregister

public void unregister(java.lang.Class type)

Un-registers converter for given type.

lookup

public TypeConverter lookup(java.lang.Class type)

Retrieves converter for provided type. Only registered types are matched, therefore subclasses must be also registered.

Returns:

founded converter or null

convertType

public <T> T convertType(java.lang.Object value,
                java.lang.Class<T> destinationType)

Converts an object to destination type. If type is registered, it's TypeConverter will be used. If not, it scans of destination is an array or enum, as those two cases are handled in a special way.

If destination type is one of common types, consider using Convert instead for somewhat faster approach (no lookup).

convertToCollection

public <T> java.util.Collection<T> convertToCollection(java.lang.Object value,
                                              java.lang.Class<? extends java.util.Collection<T>> destinationType,
                                              java.lang.Class componentType)

Special case of convertType(Object, Class) when target is collection and when component type is known.
