032/**
033 * Generic {@link Converter} implementation that handles conversion
034 * to and from <b>array</b> objects.
035 * <p>
036 * Can be configured to either return a <i>default value</i> or throw a
037 * <code>ConversionException</code> if a conversion error occurs.
038 * <p>
039 * The main features of this implementation are:
040 * <ul>
041 *     <li><b>Element Conversion</b> - delegates to a {@link Converter},
042 *         appropriate for the type, to convert individual elements
043 *         of the array. This leverages the power of existing converters
044 *         without having to replicate their functionality for converting
045 *         to the element type and removes the need to create a specifc
046 *         array type converters.</li>
047 *     <li><b>Arrays or Collections</b> - can convert from either arrays or
048 *         Collections to an array, limited only by the capability
049 *         of the delegate {@link Converter}.</li>
050 *     <li><b>Delimited Lists</b> - can Convert <b>to</b> and <b>from</b> a
051 *         delimited list in String format.</li>
052 *     <li><b>Conversion to String</b> - converts an array to a
053 *         <code>String</code> in one of two ways: as a <i>delimited list</i>
054 *         or by converting the first element in the array to a String - this
055 *         is controlled by the {@link ArrayConverter#setOnlyFirstToString(boolean)}
056 *         parameter.</li>
057 *     <li><b>Multi Dimensional Arrays</b> - it is possible to convert a <code>String</code>
058 *         to a multi-dimensional arrays, by embedding {@link ArrayConverter}
059 *         within each other - see example below.</li>
060 *     <li><b>Default Value</b></li>
061 *         <ul>
062 *             <li><b><i>No Default</b></i> - use the
063 *                 {@link ArrayConverter#ArrayConverter(Class, Converter)}
064 *                 constructor to create a converter which throws a
065 *                 {@link ConversionException} if the value is missing or
066 *                 invalid.</li>
067 *             <li><b><i>Default values</b></i> - use the
068 *                 {@link ArrayConverter#ArrayConverter(Class, Converter, int)}
069 *                 constructor to create a converter which returns a <i>default
070 *                 value</i>. The <i>defaultSize</i> parameter controls the
071 *                 <i>default value</i> in the following way:</li>
072 *                 <ul>
073 *                    <li><i>defaultSize &lt; 0</i> - default is <code>null</code></li>
074 *                    <li><i>defaultSize = 0</i> - default is an array of length zero</li>
075 *                    <li><i>defaultSize &gt; 0</i> - default is an array with a
076 *                        length specified by <code>defaultSize</code> (N.B. elements
077 *                        in the array will be <code>null</code>)</li>
078 *                 </ul>
079 *         </ul>
080 * </ul>
081 *
082 * <h3>Parsing Delimited Lists</h3>
083 * This implementation can convert a delimited list in <code>String</code> format
084 * into an array of the appropriate type. By default, it uses a comma as the delimiter
085 * but the following methods can be used to configure parsing:
086 * <ul>
087 *     <li><code>setDelimiter(char)</code> - allows the character used as
088 *         the delimiter to be configured [default is a comma].</li>
089 *     <li><code>setAllowedChars(char[])</code> - adds additional characters
090 *         (to the default alphabetic/numeric) to those considered to be
091 *         valid token characters.
092 * </ul>
093 *
094 * <h3>Multi Dimensional Arrays</h3>
095 * It is possible to convert a <code>String</code> to mulit-dimensional arrays by using
096 * {@link ArrayConverter} as the element {@link Converter}
097 * within another {@link ArrayConverter}.
098 * <p>
099 * For example, the following code demonstrates how to construct a {@link Converter}
100 * to convert a delimited <code>String</code> into a two dimensional integer array:
101 * <p>
102 * <pre>
103 *    // Construct an Integer Converter
104 *    IntegerConverter integerConverter = new IntegerConverter();
105 *
106 *    // Construct an array Converter for an integer array (i.e. int[]) using
107 *    // an IntegerConverter as the element converter.
108 *    // N.B. Uses the default comma (i.e. ",") as the delimiter between individual numbers
109 *    ArrayConverter arrayConverter = new ArrayConverter(int[].class, integerConverter);
110 *
111 *    // Construct a "Matrix" Converter which converts arrays of integer arrays using
112 *    // the pre-ceeding ArrayConverter as the element Converter.
113 *    // N.B. Uses a semi-colon (i.e. ";") as the delimiter to separate the different sets of numbers.
114 *    //      Also the delimiter used by the first ArrayConverter needs to be added to the
115 *    //      "allowed characters" for this one.
116 *    ArrayConverter matrixConverter = new ArrayConverter(int[][].class, arrayConverter);
117 *    matrixConverter.setDelimiter(';');
118 *    matrixConverter.setAllowedChars(new char[] {','});
119 *
120 *    // Do the Conversion
121 *    String matrixString = "11,12,13 ; 21,22,23 ; 31,32,33 ; 41,42,43";
122 *    int[][] result = (int[][])matrixConverter.convert(int[][].class, matrixString);
123 * </pre>
