      • getConverter

        public static <S,​T> Converter<S,​T> getConverter​(java.lang.Class<S> sourceClass,
                                                            java.lang.Class<T> targetClass)
                                                     throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
        Returns an appropriate Converter instance for sourceClass and targetClass. If no matching Converter is found, the method throws ClassNotFoundException.

        This method is intended to be used when the source or target Object types are unknown at compile time. If the source and target Object types are known at compile time, then one of the "ready made" converters should be used.

        Parameters:
        sourceClass - The object class to convert from
        targetClass - The object class to convert to
        Returns:
        A matching Converter instance
        Throws:
        java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

      • loadContainedConverters

        public static void loadContainedConverters​(java.lang.Class<?> containerClass)
        Load all classes that implement Converter and are contained in containerClass.
        Parameters:
        containerClass -

      • registerCreator

        public static <S,​T> void registerCreator​(ConverterCreator creator)
        Registers a ConverterCreater instance to be used by the getConverter(Class, Class) method, when a converter can't be found.
        Type Parameters:
        S - The source object type
        T - The target object type
        Parameters:
        creator - The ConverterCreater instance to register

      • registerConverter

        public static <S,​T> void registerConverter​(Converter<S,​T> converter)
        Registers a Converter instance to be used by the getConverter(Class, Class) method.
        Type Parameters:
        S - The source object type
        T - The target object type
        Parameters:
        converter - The Converter instance to register
