TypeConverter - Tighten up API to rethrow failed exception during type
conversion, and introduce new API for try to convert
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-5172
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5172
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-core
Reporter: Claus Ibsen
Assignee: Claus Ibsen
Fix For: 2.10.0
The org.apache.camel.TypeConverter API would not propagate exceptions that
would occur during type conversion back to the caller. But instead return null.
We should tighten this up and introduce a new API for trying to convert, so
what we would have is
- convertTo = converts, and throws exception if failure during conversion, can
return null, if no value to convert, or no type converter exists to do this
- mandatoryConvertTo = convertTo + will throw exception if no value, eg it
never returns null
- *new* tryConvertTo = convertTo but will catch exceptions and return null
(like the old behavior)
This introduces an API change in TypeConverter. But it is more intuitive. There
is some internal logic that needs to be adjust a bit due they rely on the old
behavior.
