Class ConverterFactory

java.lang.Object

com.ibm.ims.dli.converters.ConverterFactory

public class ConverterFactory
extends Object

A ConverterFactory object instantiates a converter for a specific Java data type. Converter objects convert an input/output byte array from an IMS DL/I database into a standard Java data type or vice versa.

Before using these objects, you must know the position of the target IMS database field in the input/output byte array and the type of data in the byte array. These converters do not provide type detection.

These converters are intended to be used as programming aids to help you create type converter classes for custom DL/I data types.
