Method Detail

canConvert

public boolean canConvert(Object o,
                          ReferenceContext context)

Can convert if the object is an instance of byte[]

canConvert in interface ValueToReferenceConverterSPI

context - a ReferenceContext to use if required by the plugin, the ability to convert should be interpreted in the scope of this context. In general the context probably not used by most implementations but it's here if required.

Returns:

whether this converter is applicable to the specified object

convert

public ExternalReferenceSPI convert(Object o,
                                    ReferenceContext context)
                             throws ValueToReferenceConversionException

Return a new InlineByteArrayReference wrapping the supplied byte[]

Specified by:

convert in interface ValueToReferenceConverterSPI

context - a ReferenceContext to use, if required, during construction of the new external reference

Returns:

A new instance of ExternalReferenceSPI which references, as far as possible, the value represented by the specified object

Throws:

ValueToReferenceConversionException - if any problem occurs during the conversion
