Class BeanConvertorBuilder

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.cocoon.forms.datatype.convertor.BeanConvertorBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConvertorBuilder

public class BeanConvertorBuilder
extends Object
implements ConvertorBuilder

Creates BeanConvertors

The optional <fd:bean>FQCN</fd:bean> attribute is used to give this convertor a hint of which concrete bean class we are going to work with. If this attribute is not specified java.lang.Object is used.

Sometimes the toString() method doesn't give a good representation of a Java Bean suited for selection list IDs. For this an optional <fd:id-path>jx-path</fd:id-path> attribute can be specified to have this convertor to use a different string representation.
