Method Detail

lookup

static Map<String,TypeConverter> lookup()

Resolves all available converters from resource path lookup. Scans classpath for converter meta information and instantiates those converters.

Returns:

lookupDefault

static TypeConverter lookupDefault()

Lookup default type converter specified by resource path lookup and/or environment settings. In case only a single type converter is loaded via resource path lookup this converter is used regardless of any environment settings. If there are multiple converter implementations on the classpath the environment settings must specify the default. If no converter implementation is given via resource path lookup the default implementation is returned.

Returns:

type converter to use by default.

lookupDefault

static TypeConverter lookupDefault(TypeConverter defaultTypeConverter)

Lookup default type converter specified by resource path lookup and/or environment settings. In case only a single type converter is loaded via resource path lookup this converter is used regardless of any environment settings. If there are multiple converter implementations on the classpath the environment settings must specify the default. If no converter implementation is given via resource path lookup the default implementation is returned.

Parameters:

defaultTypeConverter - the fallback default converter

Returns:

type converter to use by default.

convertIfNecessary

<T> T convertIfNecessary(Object target,
                         Class<T> type)

Converts target object to required type if necessary.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

target -

type -

Returns:

convertStringToType

<T> T convertStringToType(String value,
                          Class<T> type)

Converts String value object to given type.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

value -

type -
