Method Detail

setDelegatedConverter

public void setDelegatedConverter(Converter delegatedConverter)

Sets a delegated format converter. Will not use the actual passed converter, but will use FormatConverter.copy() to create a new format converter.

Specified by:

setDelegatedConverter in interface DelegateConverter

getDelegatedConverter

public Converter getDelegatedConverter()

Specified by:

getDelegatedConverter in interface DelegateConverter

marshall

public boolean marshall(Resource resource,
                        Object root,
                        Mapping mapping,
                        MarshallingContext context)
                 throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Marshall the given Object to the given Resource. Will use the mapping definition as to how to marshall the object.

Returns true if data was saved in the index, and it can be read as well (i.e. stored).

Specified by:

marshall in interface Converter

Parameters:

resource - The resource to marhsall the object to

root - The Object to marshall to the resource

mapping - The mapping definition of how to marshall the Object to the resoruce

context - The context for the current marhslling process

Returns:

true if data was saved in the the index that can be read.

Throws:

ConversionException

unmarshall

public Object unmarshall(Resource resource,
                         Mapping mapping,
                         MarshallingContext context)
                  throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Unmarshall the given Resource to the appropiate Object.

Specified by:

unmarshall in interface Converter

Parameters:

resource - The resource to unmarshall into an Object

mapping - The mapping definition of how to unmarshall the Resource into an Object

context - The context for the current marshalling process

Returns:

The object unmarshalled

Throws:

ConversionException

fromString

public Object fromString(String str,
                         ResourcePropertyMapping resourcePropertyMapping)
                  throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

Converts from a String and into it's Object representation.

Specified by:

fromString in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

Parameters:

str - The string to convert from

resourcePropertyMapping - The resource property mapping

Returns:

Theh object converterd from the String

Throws:

ConversionException

toString

public String toString(Object o,
                       ResourcePropertyMapping resourcePropertyMapping)
                throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

Converts the Object into a String.

Note that toString must be able to handle a null resourcePropertyMapping.

Specified by:

toString in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

Parameters:

o - The Object to convert from

resourcePropertyMapping - The resource proeprty mapping

Returns:

The String converted from the Object

Throws:

ConversionException

canNormalize

public boolean canNormalize()

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

Returns true if this converter should be used to convert query parser related values. Conversion is done by calling ResourcePropertyConverter.fromString(String, org.compass.core.mapping.ResourcePropertyMapping) and then ResourcePropertyConverter.toString(Object, org.compass.core.mapping.ResourcePropertyMapping).

Specified by:

canNormalize in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

suggestIndex

public Property.Index suggestIndex()

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

The converter can suggest what type of index will be used in case no index is configured. Can return null and will let global Compass defaults to be used.

Specified by:

suggestIndex in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

suggestTermVector

public Property.TermVector suggestTermVector()

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

The converter can suggest if term vectors should be saved for this type in case no explicit one is configured. Can return null and will let global Compass defaults to be used.

Specified by:

suggestTermVector in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

suggestStore

public Property.Store suggestStore()

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

The converter can suggest the store type for this type in case no explicit one is configured. Can return null and will let global Compass defaults to be used.

Specified by:

suggestStore in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

suggestOmitNorms

public Boolean suggestOmitNorms()

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

The converter can suggest if norms should be saved for this type in case no explicit one is configured. Can return null and will let global Compass defaults to be used.

Specified by:

suggestOmitNorms in interface ResourcePropertyConverter

suggestOmitTf

public Boolean suggestOmitTf()

Description copied from interface: ResourcePropertyConverter

The converter can suggest if tf should be saved for this type in case no explicit one is configured. Can return null and will let global Compass defaults to be used.

Specified by:

suggestOmitTf in interface ResourcePropertyConverter
