Method Detail

internalConvertToString

protected String internalConvertToString(Object o)
                                  throws UtilsException

Description copied from class: AbstractConverter

Returns the default "toString" result on provided Object.

Overrides:

internalConvertToString in class AbstractConverter

Throws:

UtilsException

internalConvertToType

protected <T> T internalConvertToType(Class<T> type,
                                      Object o)
                               throws UtilsException

Description copied from class: AbstractConverter

Handles conversion to an handled type. If type is not handled, an Exception will be thrown.

Specified by:

internalConvertToType in class AbstractConverter

Throws:

UtilsException

getTypes

public Class<?>[] getTypes()

Description copied from interface: IConverter

Returns types handled by the converter. The Array must not contain the exhaustive list of types, but might just precise a common mother class. The Array might contain primitive types.

dateToString

protected String dateToString(Date d)
                       throws UtilsException

Converts a Date object to a String, using the preferred parsing pattern.

Throws:

UtilsException

getDefaultFormat

protected DateFormat getDefaultFormat(boolean noDefault)

Creates a DateFormat from the instance parameter:

• If pattern is configured, uses this parameter.
• Otherwise, uses Locale if configured.
• At last, uses system default.

Parameters:

noDefault - If true, null will be returned but not system default.

getFormat

protected DateFormat getFormat(String pattern)

Creates a DateFormat from the provided pattern and configured timezone.

getTimeZone

public TimeZone getTimeZone()

setTimeZone

public void setTimeZone(TimeZone timeZone)

getLocale

public Locale getLocale()

setLocale

public void setLocale(Locale locale)

getPreferredPattern

public String getPreferredPattern()

Retrieved preferred formatting pattern.

setPreferredPattern

public void setPreferredPattern(String preferredPattern)

Sets preferred formatting pattern.

addGlobalPattern

public static void addGlobalPattern(String pattern)

Global patterns are used by all formatters for parsing if their preferred pattern does not match.

removeGlobalPattern

public static void removeGlobalPattern(String pattern)

Global patterns are used by all formatters for parsing if their preferred pattern does not match.

getGlobalpatterns

protected static LinkedHashSet<String> getGlobalpatterns()

addSpecificPattern

public void addSpecificPattern(String pattern)

Specific patterns are used by this formatters for parsing if their preferred pattern does not match.

removeSpecificPattern

public void removeSpecificPattern(String pattern)

Specific patterns are used by this formatters for parsing if their preferred pattern does not match.

getSpecificpatterns

protected LinkedHashSet<String> getSpecificpatterns()
