Class BaseLocaleConverter

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.BaseLocaleConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter, LocaleConverter

Direct Known Subclasses:

DateLocaleConverter, DecimalLocaleConverter, StringLocaleConverter

public abstract class BaseLocaleConverter
extends Object
implements LocaleConverter

The base class for all standart type locale-sensitive converters. It has LocaleConverter and Converter implementations, that convert an incoming locale-sensitive Object into an object of correspond type, optionally using a default value or throwing a ConversionException if a conversion error occurs.
