Method Detail

getConvertibleTypes

public java.util.Set<GenericConverter.ConvertiblePair> getConvertibleTypes()

Description copied from interface: GenericConverter

Return the source and target types that this converter can convert between.

Each entry is a convertible source-to-target type pair.

For conditional converters this method may return null to indicate all source-to-target pairs should be considered.

Specified by:

getConvertibleTypes in interface GenericConverter

matches

public boolean matches(TypeDescriptor sourceType,
                       TypeDescriptor targetType)

Description copied from interface: ConditionalConverter

Should the conversion from sourceType to targetType currently under consideration be selected?

Specified by:

matches in interface ConditionalConverter

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

                                TypeDescriptor targetType)

Description copied from interface: GenericConverter

Convert the source object to the targetType described by the TypeDescriptor.

Specified by:

convert in interface GenericConverter

Parameters:

source - the source object to convert (may be null)

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

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

Returns:

the converted object
