convertTo

public abstract D convertTo(S source,
                            Type<D> destinationType,
                            MappingContext mappingContext)

convertFrom

public abstract S convertFrom(D source,
                              Type<S> destinationType,
                              MappingContext mappingContext)

convert

public Object convert(Object source,
                      Type<? extends Object> destinationType,
                      MappingContext mappingContext)

Description copied from interface: Converter

Perform the conversion of source into a new instance of destinationType.

Specified by:

convert in interface Converter<Object,Object>

Parameters:

source - the source object to be converted

destinationType - the destination type to produce

mappingContext - since converters now have access to MapperFacade, they have to pass mapping context

Returns:

a new instance of destinationType

canConvert

public boolean canConvert(Type<?> sourceType,
                          Type<?> destinationType)

Description copied from interface: Converter

Answers whether this converter can be used to handle the conversion of sourceType to destinationType.

Specified by:

canConvert in interface Converter<Object,Object>

Overrides:

canConvert in class CustomConverter<Object,Object>

Returns:

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class CustomConverter<Object,Object>

reverse

public BidirectionalConverter<D,S> reverse()
