Method Details

match

ConditionalConverter.MatchResult match(Class<?> sourceType,
 Class<?> destinationType)

Determines whether the converter matches and supports conversion from sourceType to destinationType.

In the case of a partial match, the converter is indicating that it does not recognise the source type but that it may still be capable performing the conversion implicitly by parsing the result of calling Object.toString() or by some other means which similarly does not require knowledge of the type at compile time.

Implicit conversion may result in conversions which are susceptible to unexpected failure when property types or formats change. Conversion of properties with partially matched types can be disabled via Configuration.setFullTypeMatchingRequired(boolean).

Parameters:

sourceType - to match

destinationType - to match

Returns:

• ConditionalConverter.MatchResult.FULL if sourceType and destinationType are matched
• ConditionalConverter.MatchResult.PARTIAL if destinationType is matched
• ConditionalConverter.MatchResult.NONE if destinationType is not matched
