I got one doubt in your code when used in a situation
that i mentioned (transforming data from action form
to dto).
When date comes from action form, they usually come in
Strings, but in your method you verify
value instanceof Date...
This will never happen, as the value comes in String.
Sorry, I had it backwards (thats what I get when I post in a hurry). The example I sent was converting a Date property to String. To convert other types to Date I have the following Converter:
public class DateConverter implements Converter{
public Object convert(Class type, Object value) {
if (value == null) {
return null;
} else if (type == Date.class) {
return convertToDate(type, value);
} else if (type == String.class) {
return convertToString(type, value);
} throw new ConversionException("Could not convert " +
value.getClass().getName() + " to " +
type.getName());
} protected Object convertToDate(Class type, Object value) {
if (value instanceof String) {
try {return df.parse((String) value);
} catch (Exception pe) {
throw new ConversionException("Error converting String to Date");
}
}
throw new ConversionException("Could not convert " +
value.getClass().getName() + " to " +
type.getName());
}
}To register:
ConvertUtils.register(new DateConverter(), Date.class);
Am i saying something stupid???
I'm not saying your code is wrong, but not appropriate for the situation in question.
Am i right?
