public class BeanUtilsBean2 extends BeanUtilsBean
BeanUtilsBean implementation that creates a ConvertUtilsBean2 and delegates conversion to ConvertUtilsBean.
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 and ConvertUtilsBean 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).
Since: 1.8.0
