      • convert

        public ConversionResult convert​(AtomicValue input)
        Description copied from class: Converter
        Convert an atomic value from the source type to the target type
        Overrides:
        convert in class StringConverter
        Parameters:
        input - the atomic value to be converted, which the caller guarantees to be of the appropriate type for the converter. The results are undefined if the value is of the wrong type; possible outcomes are (apparent) success, or a ClassCastException.
        Returns:
        the result of the conversion, as an AtomicValue, if conversion succeeds, or a ValidationFailure object describing the reasons for failure if conversion is not possible. Note that the ValidationFailure object is not (and does not contain) an exception, because it does not necessarily result in an error being thrown, and creating exceptions on non-failure paths is expensive.
      • validate

        public ValidationFailure validate​(UnicodeString input)
        Description copied from class: StringConverter
        Validate a string for conformance to the target type, without actually performing the conversion
        Overrides:
        validate in class StringConverter
        Parameters:
        input - the string to be validated
        Returns:
        null if validation is successful, or a ValidationFailure indicating the reasons for failure if unsuccessful
      • isAlwaysSuccessful

        public boolean isAlwaysSuccessful()
        Description copied from class: Converter
        Ask if this converter will always succeed
        Overrides:
        isAlwaysSuccessful in class Converter
        Returns:
        true if this Converter will never return a ValidationFailure
