All Implemented Interfaces:

ObjectConverter

Direct Known Subclasses:

PasswordConverter, StringConverter

public class DefaultObjectConverter
extends java.lang.Object
implements ObjectConverter

Default object converter. It converts an object to a String using either toString() or the AbstractFormatter specified in the ConverterContex's userObject.

For example,

  MaskFormatter mask = null;
  try {
      mask = new MaskFormatter("###-##-####");
  }
  catch (ParseException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
  ConverterContext ssnConverterContext = new ConverterContext("SSN", mask);
 

If so, it will use the MaskFormatter's stringToValue and valueToString methods to do the conversion.
