Class SimpleGenericValueConverterImpl

java.lang.Object

net.sf.mmm.util.component.base.AbstractComponent

net.sf.mmm.util.component.base.AbstractLoggableComponent

net.sf.mmm.util.value.base.SimpleGenericValueConverterImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

SimpleGenericValueConverter, SimpleValueConverter<Object,Object>

public class SimpleGenericValueConverterImpl
extends AbstractLoggableComponent
implements SimpleGenericValueConverter

This is a generic value converter that is GWT compatible and therefore has reduced flexibility. If you have no GWT limitations you should use ComposedValueConverter instead.

Since:

3.1.0

Method Detail

getIso8601Util

protected Iso8601UtilLimited getIso8601Util()

Returns:

the iso8601Util

setIso8601Util

@Inject
public void setIso8601Util(Iso8601UtilLimited iso8601Util)

Parameters:

iso8601Util - is the iso8601Util to set

getMathUtil

protected MathUtilLimited getMathUtil()

Returns:

the mathUtil

setMathUtil

@Inject
public void setMathUtil(MathUtilLimited mathUtil)

Parameters:

mathUtil - is the mathUtil to set

doInitialize

protected void doInitialize()

This method performs the actual initialization. It is called when AbstractComponent.initialize() is invoked for the first time.
ATTENTION:
When you override this method from a sub-class you need to do a super.AbstractComponent.doInitialize().

Overrides:

doInitialize in class AbstractLoggableComponent

convert

public <T> T convert(Object value,
                     Object valueSource,
                     Class<T> targetClass)
              throws ValueException

This method converts the given pojo to the <TARGET>-type.

Specified by:

convert in interface SimpleValueConverter<Object,Object>

Type Parameters:

T - is the generic type of targetClass.

Parameters:

value - is the value to convert.

valueSource - describes the source of the value. This may be the filename where the value was read from, an XPath where the value was located in an XML document, etc. It is used in exceptions thrown if something goes wrong. This will help to find the problem easier.

targetClass - is the type to convert the value to.

Returns:

the converted value or null if the conversion is NOT possible. The returned value has to be an instance of the given targetType.

Throws:

ValueException - if the conversion failed (e.g. the given value is illegal for the given targetClass).
