Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.Object`	`convertDataToModel(T attribute, java.lang.Object source)`	Converts a serializable representation to a property value in case that the predicate defined is true for a given attribute descriptor.
`java.lang.Object`	`convertModelToData(T attribute, java.lang.Object source)`	Converts a property value to a serializable representation in case that the predicate defined is true for a given attribute descriptor.
`java.util.function.Predicate<T>`	`getConstrainedBy()`	Returns the predicate that constrains the converter.

- Method Detail
  - getConstrainedBy
```
java.util.function.Predicate<T> getConstrainedBy()
```
    Returns the predicate that constrains the converter. This predicate will be tested against a given attribute descriptor and if this predicate is true, then it applies the conversion,
    
    Returns:
    
    the predicate related with the converter. Never null.
  - convertModelToData
```
java.lang.Object convertModelToData(T attribute,
                                    java.lang.Object source)
```
    Converts a property value to a serializable representation in case that the predicate defined is true for a given attribute descriptor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    attribute - the object describing the source
    
    source - the persistent source described by the attribute that needs be converted to some serializable representation
    
    Returns:
    
    the converter instance. Never null.
  - convertDataToModel
```
java.lang.Object convertDataToModel(T attribute,
                                    java.lang.Object source)
```
    Converts a serializable representation to a property value in case that the predicate defined is true for a given attribute descriptor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    attribute - the object describing the source
    
    source - the serializable representation described by the attribute that needs be converted to some persistent property
    
    Returns:
    
    the converter instance. Never null.
