Class ObjectToObjectConverter

java.lang.Object
org.jolokia.service.serializer.object.ObjectToObjectConverter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Converter<String>
public class ObjectToObjectConverter extends Object implements Converter<String>

Converter from some object representation to desired target type. This converter accepts not only String values and doesn't change the value if it's already of the target type.

This converted no longer calls Object.toString() as in Jolokia 1.x.

Internally this class uses parser abstractions for several built-in types.
