Class CreditCardTagConverter

java.lang.Object

atg.droplet.CreditCardTagConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

TagConverter, java.io.Serializable

public class CreditCardTagConverter
extends java.lang.Object
implements TagConverter

This TagConverter can take an obnject that represents the number of a credit card and mask out parts of that number. This is used in display purposes where the users credit card should not be displayed to the screen. The following things can be configured for controlling what is masked out:

• Mask character - The character that is used to mask out the numbers of the credit card. If no value is supplied, this will default to 'X'.
• Number of characters to display - This is the number of characters, starting from the end, to display. If no value is displayed, it will default to 4.
• Number of characters in a grouping - After each grouping, a space will be inserted in the output. If zero, no spaces will be inserted. It defaults to 0.

Here is an example of how to use this:

<valueof param="paymentGroup.creditCardNumber" CreditCard>no number</valueof>

You can also specify the masking character to use, the number of characters to not mask, and the size of each grouping of characters:

<valueof param="paymentGroup.creditCardNumber" CreditCard maskCharacter="#" numCharsUnmasked="6" groupingSize="2">no number</valueof>

Description copied from interface: TagConverter

Returns the list of TagAttributeDescriptors which are used by this converter. Each TagAttributeDescriptor describes an attribute which can be used by this TagConverter. Attributes can be optional and they can also be automatic. An automatic attribute implies the use of this converter if that attribute appears in the tag (e.g. date=".." implies the use of the DateTagConverter).

convertObjectToString

public java.lang.String convertObjectToString(DynamoHttpServletRequest pRequest,
                                              java.lang.Object pValue,
