    • lookupDefault

      static TypeConverter lookupDefault()
      Lookup default type converter specified by resource path lookup and/or environment settings.

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.
