Method Detail
-
configure
void configure(AbstractProperties properties)
Configure the converter with given configuration.- Parameters:
properties
- Properties to use.
-
parameterize
void parameterize(java.lang.String parameter)
Initialize the converter with the given parameter. If no parameter is available the method don't need to be called or may be called withnull
which both should lead to the default behaviour of the converter.- Parameters:
parameter
- The parameter for the convertor (null if is not specified).
-
clone
java.lang.Object clone()
Creates and returns a copy of this object.- Returns:
- A clone of this instance.
-
fromType
java.lang.Class<?> fromType()
Get the type being converted from.- Returns:
- The type being converted from.
-
toType
java.lang.Class<?> toType()
Get the type being converted to.- Returns:
- The type being converted to.
-
convert
java.lang.Object convert(java.lang.Object object) throws java.lang.ClassCastException
Convert the object from one type to another.- Specified by:
convert
in interfaceTypeConvertor
- Parameters:
object
- The object to convert.- Returns:
- The converted object.
- Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException
- The object is not of the type supported by this convertor.
