public ReverseConverter(Converter<MODEL,PRESENTATION> converter)

Creates a converter from source to target based on a converter that converts from target to source.

Parameters:

Method Detail

convertToModel

public MODEL convertToModel(PRESENTATION value,
                            java.lang.Class<? extends MODEL> targetType,
                            java.util.Locale locale)
                     throws Converter.ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Converts the given value from target type to source type.

A converter can optionally use locale to do the conversion.

A converter should in most cases be symmetric so chaining Converter.convertToPresentation(Object, Class, Locale) and Converter.convertToModel(Object, Class, Locale) should return the original value.

Specified by:

convertToModel in interface Converter<PRESENTATION,MODEL>

Parameters:

value - The value to convert, compatible with the target type. Can be null

targetType - The requested type of the return value

locale - The locale to use for conversion. Can be null.

Returns:

The converted value compatible with the source type

Throws:

Converter.ConversionException - If the value could not be converted

convertToPresentation

public PRESENTATION convertToPresentation(MODEL value,
                                          java.lang.Class<? extends PRESENTATION> targetType,
                                          java.util.Locale locale)
                                   throws Converter.ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Converts the given value from source type to target type.
