Class FormattedStringToNumber

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.binding.convert.converters.StringToObject

org.springframework.binding.convert.converters.FormattedStringToNumber

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter, TwoWayConverter

public class FormattedStringToNumber
extends StringToObject

A converter for common number types such as integers and big decimals. Allows the configuration of an explicit number pattern and locale. Works with a general purpose DecimalFormat instance returned by calling NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale) by default. This instance supports parsing any number type generally and will not perform special type-specific logic such as rounding or truncation. Subclasses may override. Will coerse parsed Numbers to the desired numberClass as necessary. If type-coersion results in an overflow condition; for example, what can occur with a Long being coersed to a Short, an exception will be thrown.

Method Detail

setNumberFormatFactory

public void setNumberFormatFactory(NumberFormatFactory numberFormatFactory)

Sets the factory that returns the NumberFormat instance that will format numbers handled by this converter.

Parameters:

numberFormatFactory - the number format factory

getLenient

public boolean getLenient()

If this Converter is "lenient" in parsing number strings. A lenient converter does not require that all characters in the String be parsed successfully. Default is false.

Returns:

the lenient flag

setLenient

public void setLenient(boolean lenient)

Sets if this Converter should parse leniently.

Parameters:

lenient - the lenient flag

toObject

protected java.lang.Object toObject(java.lang.String string,
                        java.lang.Class targetClass)
                             throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

toObject in class StringToObject

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

toString

protected java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object object)
                             throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

toString in class StringToObject

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

convertToNumberClass

protected java.lang.Number convertToNumberClass(java.lang.Number number,
                                    java.lang.Class numberClass)
                                         throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Coerces the Number object returned by NumberFormat to the desired numberClass. Subclasses may override.

Parameters:

number - the parsed number

Returns:

the coersed number

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - when an overflow condition occurs during coersion
