Class ConverterManagerImpl

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.ldap.odm.typeconversion.impl.ConverterManagerImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConverterManager

public final class ConverterManagerImpl
extends Object
implements ConverterManager

An implementation of ConverterManager.

The algorithm used is to:

1. Try to find and use a Converter registered for the fromClass, syntax and toClass and use it.
2. If this fails, then if the toClass isAssignableFrom the fromClass then just assign it.
3. If this fails try to find and use a Converter registered for the fromClass and the toClass ignoring the syntax.
4. If this fails then throw a ConverterException.
