Deprecated. At some point after Struts 1.0 final, will be replaced by an equivalent class in the Jakarta Commons Beanutils package.

public class ConvertUtils

extends java.lang.Object

Utility methods for converting String values to objects of the specified class. If you specify a Java primitive type, or an array of a Java primitive type, as a destination type, a scalar or array of the coresponding Java wrapper class will be created instead. If you attempt to convert an Object or Object array of a non-String and non-primitive type, it will be converted to a scalar String or array of Strings, as appropriate.

convert

public static java.lang.String convert(java.lang.Object value)

Deprecated.

Convert the specified value into a String. If the specified value is an array, the first element (converted to a String) will be returned.

Parameters:

value - Value to be converted (may be null)

convert

public static java.lang.Object convert(java.lang.String value,
                                       java.lang.Class clazz)

Deprecated.

Convert the specified value to an object of the specified class (if possible). Otherwise, return a String representation of the value. If you specify type as the name of a Java primitive type, an instance of the corresponding wrapper class (initialized to the correct value) is returned instead.

Parameters:

value - Value to be converted (may be null)

clazz - Java class to be converted to (must be java.lang.String or one of the primitive type wrappers)

convert

public static java.lang.Object convert(java.lang.String[] values,

Deprecated.

Convert an array of specified values to an array of objects of the specified class (if possible). If you specify type as one of the Java primitive types, an array of that type will be returned; otherwise an array of the requested type (must be String or a Java wrapper class for the primitive types) will be returned.

Parameters:

value - Value to be converted (may be null)

clazz - Java array class to be converted to (must be String[], or an array of one of the Java primitive types)
