public final class AdeptDataConversion extends Object

Provides a method to convert values of one ADEPT2 data type to another where possible.

Method Details

public static Serializable convert(Serializable value, ProcessConstants.AdeptDataType targetDataType) throws ConversionException

Converts the given value to the specified target data type and returns it.

Conversions between data types.
		BOOLEAN	INTEGER (accepts all `Numbers`	FLOAT (accepts all `Numbers`	STRING	DATE	URI	USERDEFINED
BOOLEAN	->	as is	false -> 0L true -> 1L	false -> 0d true -> 1d	false -> "false" true -> "true"	-	-	-
INTEGER	->	0 -> false; true otherwise	as is (cast to `Long` if necessary)	cast to `Double`	signed decimal representation	taken as milliseconds since 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 GMT	-	-
FLOAT	->	0 -> false; true otherwise (accepts all `Numbers`)	discards fractional digits while casting to `Long` (accepts all `Numbers`)	as is (accepts all `Numbers`; will be cast to `Double`)	computerized scientific notation	taken as milliseconds since 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 GMT; discards fractional digits	-	-
STRING	->	"true" (ignoring case) -> true, false otherwise (`Boolean.parseBoolean(String)`)	parsed as signed decimal representation (`Long.parseLong(String)`)	parsed as computerized scientific notation (`Double.parseDouble(String)`)	as is	parsed as ISO 8601	parsed as URI (`URI.create(String)`)	encoded as UTF-8
DATE	->	-	milliseconds since 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 GMT as `Long`	milliseconds since 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 GMT as `Double`	formatted as ISO 8601	as is	-	-
URI	->	-	-	-	as string	-	as is	-
USERDEFINED	->	-	-	-	decoded as UTF-8	-	-	as is (cloned)

Parameters:: value - the value to be converted; this should typically be a direct equivalent to an ADEPT2 data type. The caller is responsible for closing.; targetDataType - the target data type to which the value should be converted
Returns:: the converted value. The caller is responsible for closing if appropriate.
Throws:: ConversionException - if the conversion is not possible
