public T convertFromString(Class<? extends T> cls, String str)

Implements org.joda.convert.FromStringConverter.convertFromString.

Doc from org.joda.convert.FromStringConverter.convertFromString.

Converts the specified object from a String.

Parameters
cls:Class<? extends T>

the class to convert to, not null

str:String

the string to convert, not null

Returns:T

the converted object, may be null but generally not

public String convertToString(T object)

Implements org.joda.convert.ToStringConverter.convertToString.

Doc from org.joda.convert.ToStringConverter.convertToString.

Converts the specified object to a String.

Parameters
object:T

public Class<?> getEffectiveType()

Implements org.joda.convert.TypedStringConverter.getEffectiveType.

Doc from org.joda.convert.TypedStringConverter.getEffectiveType.

Gets the effective type that the converter works on.

For example, if a class declares the FromString and ToString then the effective type of the converter is that class. If a subclass is queried for a converter, then the effective type is that of the superclass.

Returns:Class<?>

the effective type
