Class AbstractConverter<SOURCE,TARGET>

java.lang.Object

de.hybris.platform.converters.impl.AbstractConverter<SOURCE,TARGET>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Populator<SOURCE,TARGET>, Converter<SOURCE,TARGET>, org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter<SOURCE,TARGET>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractErrorConverter, AbstractPopulatingConverter, PosConverter, ProductConverter

public abstract class AbstractConverter<SOURCE,TARGET>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Converter<SOURCE,TARGET>, Populator<SOURCE,TARGET>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean, org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware

Abstract implementation of the Converter interface that also supports the Populator interface. Implementations of this base type can either be used as a converter or as a populator. When used as a converter the createTarget() method is called to create the target instance and then the populate(Object, Object) method is called to populate the target with values from the source instance. The createTarget() method can be implemented via a spring lookup-method rather than being overridden in code.

abstract void	populate(SOURCE source, TARGET target)	Override this method to populate the target from the source
void	setBeanName(java.lang.String name)

public AbstractConverter()

Method Detail

convert

public TARGET convert(SOURCE source)
               throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Converts the source object, creating a new instance of the destination type

Specified by:

convert in interface Converter<SOURCE,TARGET>

Specified by:

convert in interface org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter<SOURCE,TARGET>

Parameters:

source - the source object

Returns:

the converted object

Throws:

ConversionException - if an error occurs

convert

public TARGET convert(SOURCE source,
                      TARGET prototype)
               throws ConversionException

Description copied from interface: Converter

Convert the source object by filling the prototype

Specified by:

convert in interface Converter<SOURCE,TARGET>

Parameters:

source - the source object

prototype - the prototype to fill

Returns:

the converted object, identical to the prototype

Throws:

ConversionException - if an error occurs

populate

public abstract void populate(SOURCE source,
                              TARGET target)

Override this method to populate the target from the source

Specified by:

populate in interface Populator<SOURCE,TARGET>

Parameters:

source - the source instance

target - the target instance to fill

See Also:

setTargetClass(Class)

setTargetClass

public void setTargetClass(java.lang.Class<TARGET> targetClass)

Allows to specify the target object class directly. Please use that instead of the deprecated approach, as it's way faster.

createFromClass

protected TARGET createFromClass()

createTarget

@Deprecated
protected TARGET createTarget()

Deprecated.

please inject the target class directly, since it's way faster than the Spring approach!

setBeanName

public void setBeanName(java.lang.String name)

Specified by:

setBeanName in interface org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanNameAware

getMyBeanName

public java.lang.String getMyBeanName()

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
