public java.lang.String objectToString(java.lang.Object object,
                                       java.lang.Class type,
                                       java.lang.String flavour,
                                       Context context)

Converts an object to a string representation using ConvertUtils.

Overrides:

Parameters:

object - the object to be converted, possibly null

type - the property class of the object, not null

flavour - a string allow symantic differences in formatting to be communicated (ignored)

context - not null

Returns:

a String representation, not null

stringToObject

public java.lang.Object stringToObject(java.lang.String value,
                                       java.lang.Class type,
                                       java.lang.String flavour,
                                       Context context)
