Hi,
For what it's worth, I've had converter chaining on my mind for some
time. One particular use case that I remember this came up is
converting numerical IDs to some entity. This would first need to
convert from String to say Long, and then from Long to say Order.
Apart from true chaining, a simple 1 step solution might be to have
converters with specific types (possibly via generics), for which the
runtime has global converters available. E.g.
@FacesConverter("someConverter")
public class SomeConverter implements TypedConverter<Long> {
@Override
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent
component, Long parameter) {
// ...
}
// ...
}
Kind regards,
Arjan
