Is there a way I can
construct a type handler in different modes?
My specific need is
this:
The iSeries folks
like to give me back dates as integers, e.g. 20061004. They also give me back
times as integers, e.g. 1203. Writing a type handler that copes with this is no
big deal, but it would be useful if I could generalize the typehandler, and tell
it to expect things of a particular format; e.g. new
IntDateTypeHandler("HHmm"), or new IntDateTypeHandler("yyyyMMdd").
