Class DefaultKeyConverter

java.lang.Object
com.tangosol.coherence.rest.DefaultKeyConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

KeyConverter

public class DefaultKeyConverter

extends java.lang.Object

implements KeyConverter

Default implementation of KeyConverter for a given key class.

This KeyConverter implementation uses the following rules to perform key conversion:

• toString:
  1. if the key class is java.util.Date, format the argument as yyyy-MM-dd;
  2. if the key class is UUID or UID, return a hexadecimal representation of the argument without the leading Ox;
  3. otherwise, call the toString method on the argument
• fromString:
  1. if the key class is java.util.Date, the given string needs to be formatted as yyyy-MM-dd;
  2. otherwise, look for a constructor or a static fromString, valueOf or parse method (in that order) on the key class
