Package ubic.gemma.persistence.util

Class ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter<O extends Identifiable,VO extends IdentifiableValueObject<O>>

java.lang.Object

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

ubic.gemma.persistence.util.ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter<O,VO>

Type Parameters:

O - the type of value object this converter consumes and also produces (as inherited from ServiceBasedEntityConverter

VO - the type of value object this converter produces

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConditionalConverter, ConditionalGenericConverter, GenericConverter

public class ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter<O extends Identifiable,VO extends IdentifiableValueObject<O>>
extends ServiceBasedEntityConverter<O>
implements ConditionalGenericConverter

Perform conversion to value object by entity, ID and collections of entities and IDs and also to entity by ID and collection of IDs.

The converter recognize two cases: converting ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter → ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter and converting Collection of ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter to List of ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter by calling respectively BaseVoEnabledService.loadValueObject(Identifiable) and BaseVoEnabledService.loadValueObjects(Collection).

This implementation also work with supertypes of the designated ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter and subtypes of the ServiceBasedValueObjectConverter. For example, you can perform generic conversion to IdentifiableValueObject without having to mention the specific type of value object you ultimately want.
