public abstract class ConverterPropertyEditorBase
extends java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport

Abstract base for a PropertyEditor that delegates to a faces Converter that was registered by-type in a faces-config descriptor. Concrete implementations (such as generated by ConverterPropertyEditorFactory) will override getTargetClass(). (This is based on the original ConverterPropertyEditor code).

public ConverterPropertyEditorBase()

Method Detail

getTargetClass

protected abstract java.lang.Class<?> getTargetClass()

Return the target class of the objects that are being edited. This is used as a key to find the appropriate Converter from the Faces application.

Returns:

the target class.

getComponent

protected javax.faces.component.UIComponent getComponent()

Return the UIComponent that is currently being processed, so it can be passed on to the Converter. (Most basic converters use this for creating and setting error messages, although they may also use attributes of the component to customize the conversion). For now, do this by looking for a request attribute keyed on TARGET_COMPONENT_ATTRIBUTE_NAME.

Returns:

the current component, or null.

setAsText

public void setAsText(java.lang.String textValue)
               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Convert the textValue to an object of type getTargetClass() by delegating to a converter obtained from the Faces application.

Specified by:

setAsText in interface java.beans.PropertyEditor

Overrides:

setAsText in class java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

getAsText

public java.lang.String getAsText()

Convert an object of type getTargetClass() to text by delegating to a converter obtained from the Faces application.

Specified by:

Overrides:

getAsText in class java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport
