org.springframework.beans Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package org.springframework.beans as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this, and additions are shown like this.
If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.
Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a <code> tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

Class SimpleTypeConverter

Simple implementation of the TypeConverter interface that does not operate on anyoperate on a specific target object. This is an alternative to using a full-blown blown BeanWrapperImplBeanWrapperImpl instance for arbitrary type conversion needs, while using the very same conversion algorithm (including delegation to java.beans.PropertyEditor and org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService) underneath. @author Juergen Hoeller @since 2.0 @see BeanWrapperImpl

Class TypeConverter

Interface that defines type conversion methods. Typically (but not necessarily) implemented in conjunction with the PropertyEditorRegistry interface. @author Juergen Hoeller @since 2.0 @see PropertyEditorRegistry @see SimpleTypeConverter @see BeanWrapperImpl
Class TypeConverter, T convertIfNecessary(Object, Class<T>)

Convert the value to the required type (if necessary from a String).

Conversions from String to any type will typically use the setAsText method of the PropertyEditor class. Note, thator a PropertyEditor must be registered for the givenSpring class for this to work;Converter this isin a standard JavaBeans API. A number of PropertyEditors are automatically registeredConversionService. @param value the value to convert @param requiredType the type we must convert to (or null if not known, for example in case of a collection element) @return the new value, possibly the result of type conversion @throws TypeMismatchException if type conversion failed @see java.beans.PropertyEditor#setAsText(String) @see java.beans.PropertyEditor#getValue() @see org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService @see org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter
