All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter

public class ConverterNumToString

extends ConverterBase

This class takes any Object the inherits from the Number class (BigDecimal, BigInteger, Byte, Double, Float, Integer, Long, and Short) and converts it to a formatted string based on the NumberFormat that is passed to the constructor or if the no arg constructor is used based on the default NumberFormatter returned by NumberFormat.getInstance(). The following give examples on how to construct this object.

Note due to its use of the nonthread safe class NumberFormat this class is NOT thread safe. It could be wrapped in a ThreadSafe object if this is important.

Sample call:

  Converter converter=new ConverterNumToString();// default NumberFormat
  converter=new ConverterNumToString(NumberFormat.getInstance());// same as default
  converter=new ConverterNumToString(NumberFormat.getNumberInstance());// default NumberFormat
  converter=new ConverterNumToString(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance());
  converter=new ConverterNumToString(NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance());
  converter=new ConverterNumToString(NumberFormat.getPercentInstance());
  Object obj=converter.convert(new Long(10000));// obj will have the String 10,000
