Class MapToMapConverter

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.core.convert.support.MapToMapConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConditionalGenericConverter, GenericConverter

final class MapToMapConverter
extends java.lang.Object
implements ConditionalGenericConverter

Converts a Map to another Map.

First, creates a new Map of the requested targetType with a size equal to the size of the source Map. Then copies each element in the source map to the target map. Will perform a conversion from the source maps's parameterized K,V types to the target map's parameterized types K,V if necessary.

Specified by:

matches in interface ConditionalGenericConverter

Parameters:

sourceType - the type descriptor of the field we are converting from

targetType - the type descriptor of the field we are converting to

Returns:

true if conversion should be performed, false otherwise
