    • convert

      public StringValue convert(AtomicValue input)
      Description copied from class: Converter
      Convert an atomic value from the source type to the target type
      Overrides:
      convert in class StringConverter
      Parameters:
      input - the atomic value to be converted, which the caller guarantees to be of the appropriate type for the converter. The results are undefined if the value is of the wrong type; possible outcomes are (apparent) success, or a ClassCastException.
      Returns:
      the result of the conversion, as an AtomicValue, if conversion succeeds, or a ValidationFailure object describing the reasons for failure if conversion is not possible. Note that the ValidationFailure object is not (and does not contain) an exception, because it does not necessarily result in an error being thrown, and creating exceptions on non-failure paths is expensive.
    • convertString

      public ConversionResult convertString(UnicodeString input)
      Description copied from class: StringConverter
      Convert a string to the target type of this converter.
      Specified by:
      convertString in class StringConverter
      Parameters:
      input - the string to be converted
      Returns:
      either an AtomicValue of the appropriate type for this converter (if conversion succeeded), or a ValidationFailure if conversion failed.
    • validate

      public ValidationFailure validate(UnicodeString input)
      Description copied from class: StringConverter
      Validate a string for conformance to the target type, without actually performing the conversion
      Overrides:
      validate in class StringConverter
      Parameters:
      input - the string to be validated
      Returns:
      null if validation is successful, or a ValidationFailure indicating the reasons for failure if unsuccessful
    • isAlwaysSuccessful

      public boolean isAlwaysSuccessful()
      Description copied from class: Converter
      Ask if this converter will always succeed
      Overrides:
      isAlwaysSuccessful in class Converter
      Returns:
      true if this Converter will never return a ValidationFailure
