Class ConverterManagerFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.ldap.odm.typeconversion.impl.ConverterManagerFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

FactoryBean

public final class ConverterManagerFactoryBean
extends Object
implements FactoryBean

A utility class to allow ConverterManagerImpl instances to be easily configured via spring.xml.

The following shows a typical simple example which creates two Converter instances:

• fromStringConverter
• toStringConverter

Configured in an ConverterManagerImpl to:

• Use fromStringConverter to convert from String to Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean
• Use toStringConverter to convert from Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean to String
