convertFromString

public static <T> T convertFromString(String s,
                                      Class<T> requiredType,
                                      String context,
                                      ClassLoader loader,
                                      String[] packageSearchPath)

* Constructs a new ListTokenizer around s and then calls convertFromString(ArgListTokenizer, Class, String, ClassLoader, String[]) . This class assumes it can read and parse the whole string, otherwise it throws a ArgListTokenizer.ParseException.

Type Parameters:

T - The required type.

Parameters:

s - The String value to convert.

requiredType - The type it should be converted to.

context - An optional property path.

loader - The class loader to use.

packageSearchPath - Search path to resolve abbreviated class names.

Returns:

s converted to the required type.

convertFromString

public static <T> T convertFromString(ArgListTokenizer tk,
                                      Class<T> requiredType,
                                      String context,
                                      ClassLoader loader,
                                      String[] packageSearchPath)

This method is used internally to create an object as specified by the given parse tree.

Type Parameters:

T - Type of returned object.

Parameters:

tk - The ArgListTokenizer used to split the input String in its parts.

requiredType - Type the converted parse tree should be compatible with.

context - Optional property context path.

loader - The classloader to use.

packageSearchPath - The package search path.

Returns:

The object as specified in the parse tree.

lookupConverter

public static TypeToStringConverter lookupConverter(Class<?> requiredType)

Returns the most specific converter responsible for a certain type.

Parameters:

requiredType - The required class or interface.

Returns:

the converter for this requiredType
