Method Details

get

public static TypeConverterManager get()

Returns default implementation.

registerDefaults

public void registerDefaults()

Registers default set of converters.

register

public <T> void register(Class<T> type,
 TypeConverter<T> typeConverter)

Registers a converter for specified type. User must register converter for all super-classes as well.

Parameters:

type - class that converter is for

typeConverter - converter for provided class

unregister

public void unregister(Class type)

Un-registers converter for given type.

lookup

public <T> TypeConverter<T> lookup(Class<T> type)

Retrieves converter for provided type. Only registered types are matched, therefore subclasses must be also registered.

Returns:

founded converter or null

convertType

public <T> T convertType(Object value,
 Class<T> destinationType)

Converts an object to destination type. If type is registered, it's TypeConverter will be used. If not, it scans of destination is an array or enum, as those two cases are handled in a special way.

If destination type is one of common types, consider using Converter instead for somewhat faster approach (no lookup).

convertToCollection

public <C extends Collection<T>,
T> C convertToCollection(Object value,
 Class<? extends Collection> destinationType,
 Class<T> componentType)

Special case of convertType(Object, Class) when target is collection and when component type is known.
