Package ubic.gemma.persistence.util

Class ServiceBasedEntityConverter<O extends Identifiable>

java.lang.Object

ubic.gemma.persistence.util.ServiceBasedEntityConverter<O>

Type Parameters:

O - the type of entity this converter produces

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConditionalConverter, ConditionalGenericConverter, GenericConverter

Direct Known Subclasses:

ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter

public class ServiceBasedEntityConverter<O extends Identifiable>
extends Object
implements ConditionalGenericConverter

Performs conversion by identifier and collection of identifier for a BaseReadOnlyService.

The converter recognize two cases: Long → ServiceBasedEntityConverter and Collection of Long to List of ServiceBasedEntityConverter using BaseReadOnlyService.load(Long) and BaseReadOnlyService.load(Collection) respectively.

The conversion also works with supertypes of ServiceBasedEntityConverter up to Identifiable.
