@StableMinor(version="14.0",

public abstract class AbstractConverter
extends Object
implements IConverter

This is a abstract converter where a default locale and pattern may be specified and has fallback conversion capability.

If the convertion implementation does not support the requested type, this converter falls back to try to convert using ConvertUtil.convert(Class, Object, Locale, String).

Since:

4.0.4

Method Detail

getDefaultLocale

public Locale getDefaultLocale()

setDefaultLocale

public void setDefaultLocale(Locale defaultLocale)

getDefaultPattern

public String getDefaultPattern()

setDefaultPattern

public void setDefaultPattern(String defaultPattern)

doesNullValueReturnNull

protected boolean doesNullValueReturnNull()

doesValueInstanceOfTypeReturnValue

protected boolean doesValueInstanceOfTypeReturnValue()

shouldFallbackToRegisteredConverters

protected boolean shouldFallbackToRegisteredConverters()

Indicates if the registered converters should be tried if this converter does not know how to complete the conversion.

Returns:

true if should fallback to registered converters, false otherwise.

Since:

4.0.11

setFallbackToRegisteredConverters

protected void setFallbackToRegisteredConverters(boolean fallbackToRegisteredConverters)

Sets if the registered converters should be tried if this converter does not know how to complete the conversion.

Note that if this property is set to false, it is important not to fallback to the registered converters, since it may cause an infinite loop.

Parameters:

fallbackToRegisteredConverters - the value to set.

Since:

4.0.11

doConversion

protected abstract <T> T doConversion(Class<T> type,
                                      Object value,
                                      Locale locale,
                                      String pattern)
                               throws UnsupportedConversionTypeException

Converts the specified input object into an output object of the specified type.

Type Parameters:

T - generics support for the data type specified.

Parameters:

type - data type to which the value should be converted.

value - the input value to be converted.

locale - locale to be used during conversion, if necessary.

pattern - converter specific conversion pattern, to be used during conversion, if necessary.

Throws:

UnsupportedConversionTypeException - if this converter does not supports converting to the specified type.

Since:

4.0.4
