All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter

public class ConverterMapValue

extends ConverterBase

This class looks for the Object passed to the convert method in a HashMap and replaces this key with the associated value in the Map (if key then replace with value). Note both key and value can be ANY Object type or null.

Sample call:

  Map map=new HashMap();
  map.put(null," ");
  map.put(""," ");
  map.put(new Boolean(true),"yes");
  map.put(new Boolean(false),"no");

  Converter converter=new ConverterMapValue(map);// default DateFormat including short date and time
  Object output=converter.convert(null);  // returns " " 
  ...
