Class BeanUtilsBean2
BeanUtilsBean
implementation that creates a
ConvertUtilsBean2
and delegates conversion to
ConvertUtilsBean.convert(Object, Class)
.
To configure this implementation for the current context ClassLoader invoke
BeanUtilsBean.setInstance(new BeanUtilsBean2());
BeanUtils 1.7.0 delegated all conversion to String to the converter
registered for the String.class
. One of the improvements in
BeanUtils 1.8.0 was to upgrade the Converter
implementations so
that they could handle conversion to String for their type (e.g.
IntegerConverter now handles conversion from an Integer to a String as
well as String to Integer).
In order to take advantage of these improvements BeanUtils needs to change
how it gets the appropriate Converter
. This functionality has been
implemented in the new ConvertUtilsBean.lookup(Class, Class)
and
ConvertUtilsBean.convert(Object, Class)
methods. However changing
BeanUtilsBean
to use these methods could create compatibility
issues for existing users. In order to avoid that, this new
BeanUtilsBean
implementation has been created (and the associated
ConvertUtilsBean2
).
