Class LocaleConvertUtils

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.LocaleConvertUtils

public class LocaleConvertUtils
extends Object

Utility methods for converting locale-sensitive String scalar values to objects of the specified Class, String arrays to arrays of the specified Class and object to locale-sensitive String scalar value.

The implementations for these method are provided by LocaleConvertUtilsBean. These static utility method use the default instance. More sophisticated can be provided by using a LocaleConvertUtilsBean instance.
