FormattingConversionService

public FormattingConversionService()
Method Detail

setEmbeddedValueResolver

public void setEmbeddedValueResolver(StringValueResolver resolver)
Description copied from interface: EmbeddedValueResolverAware
Set the StringValueResolver to use for resolving embedded definition values.

Specified by:
setEmbeddedValueResolver in interface EmbeddedValueResolverAware

addFormatterForFieldType

public void addFormatterForFieldType(Class<?> fieldType,
                                     Formatter<?> formatter)
Description copied from interface: FormatterRegistry
Adds a Formatter to format fields of a specific type.

On print, if the Formatter's type T is declared and fieldType is not assignable to T, a coersion to T will be attempted before delegating to formatter to print a field value. On parse, if the parsed object returned by formatter is not assignable to the runtime field type, a coersion to the field type will be attempted before returning the parsed field value.

Specified by:
addFormatterForFieldType in interface FormatterRegistry
Parameters:
fieldType - the field type to format
formatter - the formatter to add

addFormatterForFieldType

public void addFormatterForFieldType(Class<?> fieldType,
                                     Printer<?> printer,
                                     Parser<?> parser)
Description copied from interface: FormatterRegistry
Adds a Printer/Parser pair to format fields of a specific type. The formatter will delegate to the specified printer for printing and the specified parser for parsing.

On print, if the Printer's type T is declared and fieldType is not assignable to T, a coersion to T will be attempted before delegating to printer to print a field value. On parse, if the object returned by the Parser is not assignable to the runtime field type, a coersion to the field type will be attempted before returning the parsed field value.

Specified by:
addFormatterForFieldType in interface FormatterRegistry
Parameters:
fieldType - the field type to format
printer - the printing part of the formatter
parser - the parsing part of the formatter

addFormatterForFieldAnnotation

public void addFormatterForFieldAnnotation(AnnotationFormatterFactory annotationFormatterFactory)
Description copied from interface: FormatterRegistry
Adds a Formatter to format fields annotated with a specific format annotation.

Specified by:
addFormatterForFieldAnnotation in interface FormatterRegistry
Parameters:
annotationFormatterFactory - the annotation formatter factory to add
