Method Detail

convertValue

public static Object convertValue(Object value,
                                  Class targetForm,
                                  ValueConverter converter)
                           throws IllegalFormatException

Attempt to convert a value to a given class. The Convertable interface is used if available, otherwise attempts to use the form's constructor.

Parameters:

value - The value to convert.

targetForm - The class to convert the value to. If the class is primitive, its equivalent Object-based class is used.

converter - The converter to use. May be null in which case the default attempts to convert the value are used.

Returns:

A new instance of form containing the converted value.

Throws:

IllegalFormatException - if conversion was not possible (ie Convertable threw an exception, or no constructor available or constructor threw an exception).
