public interface ConditionalConverter {
boolean matches(TypeDescriptor sourceType, TypeDescriptor targetType); 1
}
It allows to conditionally execute the converter based on the matches() return boolean.
Example
Following conditional converter example converts all Number types to BigDecimal type (as provided by getConvertibleTypes()) except for BigDecimal to BigDecimal (as provided by matches()).
package com.logicbig.example;
import org.springframework.core.convert.TypeDescriptor;
import org.springframework.core.convert.converter.ConditionalGenericConverter;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Set;
public class NumberToBigDecimalConverter implements ConditionalGenericConverter {
@Override
public boolean matches(TypeDescriptor sourceType, TypeDescriptor targetType) {
return sourceType.getType() != BigDecimal.class;
}
@Override
public Set<ConvertiblePair> getConvertibleTypes() {
return Collections.singleton(new ConvertiblePair(Number.class,
BigDecimal.class));
}
@Override
public Object convert(Object source, TypeDescriptor sourceType,
TypeDescriptor targetType) {
System.out.println("converting :"+source);
Number number = (Number) source;
return new BigDecimal(number.doubleValue());
}
}
package com.logicbig.example;
import org.springframework.core.convert.support.DefaultConversionService;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class ConditionalGenericConverterExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DefaultConversionService service = new DefaultConversionService();
service.addConverter(new NumberToBigDecimalConverter());
BigDecimal bd = service.convert(Double.valueOf("2222.336"),
BigDecimal.class);
bd = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
System.out.println("result: " + bd);
System.out.println("----------");
//this will return the same BigDecimal instance without conversion
BigDecimal bd2 = new BigDecimal("898.33");
bd = service.convert(bd2, BigDecimal.class);
System.out.println("result: " + bd);
System.out.println(bd == bd2);
}
}
Outputconverting :2222.336
result: 2222.34
----------
result: 898.33
true
