Method Detail

convertToModel

public java.lang.Long convertToModel(java.util.Date value,
                                     java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.Long> targetType,
                                     java.util.Locale locale)

Description copied from interface: Converter

Converts the given value from target type to source type.

A converter can optionally use locale to do the conversion.

A converter should in most cases be symmetric so chaining Converter.convertToPresentation(Object, Class, Locale) and Converter.convertToModel(Object, Class, Locale) should return the original value.

Specified by:

convertToModel in interface Converter<java.util.Date,java.lang.Long>

Parameters:

value - The value to convert, compatible with the target type. Can be null

targetType - The requested type of the return value

locale - The locale to use for conversion. Can be null.

Returns:

The converted value compatible with the source type

convertToPresentation

public java.util.Date convertToPresentation(java.lang.Long value,
                                            java.lang.Class<? extends java.util.Date> targetType,
                                            java.util.Locale locale)

Description copied from interface: Converter

Converts the given value from source type to target type.
