Class DefaultObjectConverter

java.lang.Object
com.jidesoft.converter.DefaultObjectConverter
All Implemented Interfaces:
ObjectConverter
Direct Known Subclasses:
PasswordConverter, StringConverter
public class DefaultObjectConverter extends Object implements ObjectConverter
Default object converter. It converts an object to a String using either toString() or the AbstractFormatter specified in the ConverterContex's userObject.

For example, 

  MaskFormatter mask = null;
  try {
      mask = new MaskFormatter("###-##-####");
  }
  catch (ParseException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  }
  ConverterContext ssnConverterContext = new ConverterContext("SSN", mask);
If so, it will use the MaskFormatter's stringToValue and valueToString methods to do the conversion.
