Class TypeStringConverter

java.lang.Object

org.joda.convert.AbstractTypeStringConverter

org.joda.convert.TypeStringConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

FromStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>, StringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>, ToStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>, TypedStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>

final class TypeStringConverter
extends AbstractTypeStringConverter
implements TypedStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>

Parse the string format of Type via Guava TypeToken.

This is loaded by reflection only when Guava is on the classpath. It relies on internal methods in Guava that could change in any release.

This parser is incomplete, but handles common cases. It does not handle union types or multi-dimensional arrays.

Method Detail

convertToString

public java.lang.String convertToString(java.lang.reflect.Type object)

Description copied from interface: ToStringConverter

Converts the specified object to a String.

Specified by:

convertToString in interface ToStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>

Parameters:

object - the object to convert, not null

Returns:

the converted string, may be null but generally not

convertFromString

public java.lang.reflect.Type convertFromString(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.reflect.Type> cls,
                                                java.lang.String str)

Description copied from interface: FromStringConverter

Converts the specified object from a String.

Specified by:

convertFromString in interface FromStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>

Parameters:

cls - the class to convert to, not null

str - the string to convert, not null

Returns:

the converted object, may be null but generally not

getEffectiveType

public java.lang.Class<?> getEffectiveType()

Description copied from interface: TypedStringConverter

Gets the effective type that the converter works on.

For example, if a class declares the FromString and ToString then the effective type of the converter is that class. If a subclass is queried for a converter, then the effective type is that of the superclass.

Specified by:

getEffectiveType in interface TypedStringConverter<java.lang.reflect.Type>

Returns:

the effective type
