Method Detail

convert

public static java.lang.Object convert(java.lang.Object source,
                                       java.lang.Class targetType)
                                throws ConversionException

Converts source to target type using converters loaded from META-INF/config/biz.hammurapi.convert.Converter resources. If no converter is found, this method performs converter discovery through constructors if target type is a class and through duck conversion if target type is an interface. Invocation of this method is equivalent to invocation of convert(source, targetType, false)

Parameters:

source - Source object.

targetType - Target type.

Returns:

Source object converted to target type or null if no converter is available for source/targetType combination

Throws:

ConversionException

Parameters:

source - Source object.

targetType - Target type.

context - Conversion context.

Returns:

Source object converted to target type or null if no converter is available for source/targetType combination

Throws:

ConversionException

classLoader - Class loader, source of converters.

Returns:

Source object converted to target type or null if no converter is available for source/targetType combination

Throws:

ConversionException
