Method Detail

convertInbound

public java.lang.Object convertInbound(java.lang.Class<?> paramType,
                                       InboundVariable data)
                                throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Attempt to coerce the data from a string to an Object. If anything goes wrong with inbound conversion then we generally throw an exception because we are converting data from the untrusted Internet so we take the assumption that anything wrong is someone hacking.

Specified by:

convertInbound in interface Converter

Overrides:

convertInbound in class BasicObjectConverter

Parameters:

paramType - The type to convert to

data - The data to convert

Returns:

The converted data, or null if the conversion was not possible

Throws:

ConversionException - If the conversion failed for some reason

getPropertyMapFromClass

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,Property> getPropertyMapFromClass(java.lang.Class<?> paramType,
                                                                        boolean readRequired,
                                                                        boolean writeRequired)
                                                                 throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: NamedConverter

Get a map of property names to implementations of Property.

HibernateBeanConverter (and maybe others) may want to provide alternate versions of bean.getClass(), and we may wish to fake or hide properties in some cases.

If you have a real object to investigate then it is probably better to call NamedConverter.getPropertyMapFromObject(Object, boolean, boolean) because that version can take into account extra runtime type info.

Specified by:

getPropertyMapFromClass in interface NamedConverter

Overrides:

getPropertyMapFromClass in class BeanConverter

Parameters:

paramType - The class to find bean info from

readRequired - The properties returned must be readable

writeRequired - The properties returned must be writable

Returns:

An array of PropertyDescriptors describing the beans properties

Throws:

ConversionException - If the introspection fails
