[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-274?page=comments#action_12423472 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-274: ------------------------------------
Generally my thinking is either: * If it's a small patch, then it's a good target for ArrayUtils in Lang. * A larger patch/framework would be a rejuvenation of commons-convert. The last week or so of Finder has shown me that the best thing can be to kick off a Sandbox project, watch people tear it apart, and then magically the core of what you wanted to get into a component ends up there anywhere (DirectoryWalker and various filters in IO). Assuming you're talking about a large patch (sounds like you are) - would you have the time to start a thread on commons-dev about the current commons-convert, the json-lib code and any thoughts you might have concerning a conversion component? > Support for multidimensional array conversion > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-274 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-274 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Andres Almiray > Priority: Minor > > Only unidimenisional array conversions are supported by ArrayUtils. I > recently had the new for this and seeing that Lang does not support the > feature, I hacked it myself (please see json-lib's <a > href="http://json-lib.cvs.sourceforge.net/json-lib/json-lib/";>cvs</a>/<a > href="http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/net/sf/json/converter/package-frame.html";>javadoc</a> > for reference). I think that this feature may be useful to others and that > json-lib is not the correct project for it. > This issue is at the boundaries between lang and beanutils. Lang allows the > conversion of an unidimensional array between wrappers and primitives. > BeanUtils allows conversion from String to unidimensional arrays. As > BeanUtils is more fragile then Lang I thought this was the correct place to > post the issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
