Method Detail

getAvailableFormatters

public static Map<Class<? extends Serializable>,SerializableFormat<? extends Serializable>> getAvailableFormatters()

Returns the available serializable formatters.

Returns:

The available serializable formatters.

isParseableType

public static boolean isParseableType(Class<?> type)

This method checks if the given type is a parseable type. Parseable types are types that can be converted from a string to an object. Every type that is parseable has a #SerializableFormat implementation that can be used for conversion.
For the following types implementations are already mapped to their classes:

• primitive int and #Integer
• primitive long and #Long
• primitive double and #Double
• primitive float and #Float
• primitive boolean and #Boolean
• primitive char and #Character
• primitive byte and #Byte
• primitive short and #Short
• #String
• #BigDecimal
• #BigInteger
• #Date
• #Calendar
• #Locale
• #TimeZone
• #Currency
• #Class

Parameters:

type - The type to be checked if parseable

Returns:

true if the type is parseable, otherwise false

getParsedValue

public static <T extends Serializable> T getParsedValue(Class<T> returnType,
                                                        String value)
                                                 throws ParseException

Returns the parsed object of the given type for the given string. Invoking this method is equal to invoking # getParsedValue(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String, java.text.DateFormat) and the 3rd argument new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS")

Parameters:

returnType - The type to which the value should be parsed

value - The string that should be parsed

Returns:

The parsed object

Throws:

ParseException - Is thrown when the string can not be parsed

getParsedValue

public static <T extends Serializable> T getParsedValue(Class<T> returnType,
                                                        String value,
                                                        DateFormat dateFormat)
                                                 throws ParseException

Returns the parsed object of the given type for the given string. Based on the registered #SerializableFormats an instance is choosen based on the class object. The parsing of the string value may fail, throwing a ParseException.

Parameters:

returnType - The type to which the value should be parsed

value - The string that should be parsed

dateFormat - The date format which should be used for string to date/calendar conversion

Returns:

The parsed object

Throws:

ParseException - Is thrown when the string can not be parsed

isParseableType(java.lang.Class)

getFormattedValue

public static <T extends Serializable> String getFormattedValue(Class<T> type,
                                                                T object)

getFormattedValue

public static <T extends Serializable> String getFormattedValue(Class<T> type,
                                                                T object,
                                                                DateFormat dateFormat)
