Michael Vorburger updated BEANUTILS-403:
----------------------------------------
Component/s: ConvertUtils & Converters
Affects Version/s: 1.8.3
> ConvertUtilsBean should allow registering Converters with source class
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEANUTILS-403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-403
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Reporter: Michael Vorburger
> Attachments: ConversionBeanUtilsBugTest.java
>
>
> ConvertUtils should allow registering Converters not only with destination
> class, but with destination AND with source class.
> In addition to the void register(Converter converter, Class clazz) method,
> there should also be a register(Converter converter, Class sourceClass, Class
> destinationClass). The implementation in Converter lookup(Class sourceType,
> Class targetType), which currently in the last line just does return
> lookup(targetType), should look for a Converter registered with both
> targetType & sourceType (if any).
> This would allow something like the attached example (Test case) to work,
> where I'd like to register a Converter which can turn A into B, as well as
> another Converter which can turn into Object into B (imagine B being
> something like a DynaBean) - this is not currently possible, but would be
> useful.
