Package javax.faces.convert

Class NumberConverter

java.lang.Object
javax.faces.convert.NumberConverter
All Implemented Interfaces:
PartialStateHolder, StateHolder, Converter
public class NumberConverter extends Object implements Converter, PartialStateHolder

Converter implementation for java.lang.Number values.

The getAsObject() method parses a String into an java.lang.Double or java.lang.Long, according to the following algorithm:

  • If the specified String is null, return a null. Otherwise, trim leading and trailing whitespace before proceeding.
  • If the specified String - after trimming - has a zero length, return null.
  • If the locale property is not null, use that Locale for managing parsing. Otherwise, use the Locale from the UIViewRoot.
  • If a pattern has been specified, its syntax must conform the rules specified by java.text.DecimalFormat. Such a pattern will be used to parse, and the type property will be ignored.
  • If a pattern has not been specified, parsing will be based on the type property, which expects a currency, a number, or a percent. The parse pattern for currencies, numbers, and percentages is determined by calling the getCurrencyInstance(), getNumberInstance(), or getPercentInstance() method of the java.text.NumberFormat class, passing in the selected Locale.
  • If the integerOnly property has been set to true, only the integer portion of the String will be parsed. See the JavaDocs for the setParseIntegerOnly() method of the java.text.NumberFormat class for more information.

The getAsString() method expects a value of type java.lang.Number (or a subclass), and creates a formatted String according to the following algorithm:

  • If the specified value is null, return a zero-length String.
  • If the specified value is a String, return it unmodified.
  • If the locale property is not null, use that Locale for managing formatting. Otherwise, use the Locale from the FacesContext.
  • If a pattern has been specified, its syntax must conform the rules specified by java.text.DecimalFormat. Such a pattern will be used to format, and the type property (along with related formatting options described in the next paragraph) will be ignored.
  • If a pattern has not been specified, formatting will be based on the type property, which formats the value as a currency, a number, or a percent. The format pattern for currencies, numbers, and percentages is determined by calling the percentages is determined by calling the getCurrencyInstance(), getNumberInstance(), or getPercentInstance() method of the java.text.NumberFormat class, passing in the selected Locale. In addition, the following properties will be applied to the format pattern, if specified:
    • If the groupingUsed property is true, the setGroupingUsed(true) method on the corresponding NumberFormat instance will be called.
    • The minimum and maximum number of digits in the integer and fractional portions of the result will be configured based on any values set for the maxFractionDigits, maxIntegerDigits, minFractionDigits, and minIntegerDigits properties.
    • If the type is set to currency, it is also possible to configure the currency symbol to be used, using either the currencyCode or currencySymbol properties. If both are set, the value for currencyCode takes precedence on a JDK 1.4 (or later) JVM; otherwise, the value for currencySymbol takes precedence.

    • saveState

      public Object saveState(FacesContext context)
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      Gets the state of the instance as a Serializable Object.

      If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext) method on all those instances as well. This method must not save the state of children and facets. That is done via the StateManager

      This method must not alter the state of the implementing object. In other words, after executing this code:

       Object state = component.saveState(facesContext);

      component should be the same as before executing it.

      The return from this method must be Serializable

      Specified by:
      saveState in interface StateHolder

    • restoreState

      public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state)
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      Perform any processing required to restore the state from the entries in the state Object.

      If the class that implements this interface has references to instances that also implement StateHolder (such as a UIComponent with event handlers, validators, etc.) this method must call the StateHolder.restoreState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, java.lang.Object) method on all those instances as well.

      If the state argument is null, take no action and return.

      Specified by:
      restoreState in interface StateHolder

    • isTransient

      public boolean isTransient()
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

    • setTransient

      public void setTransient(boolean transientFlag)
      Description copied from interface: StateHolder

      Denotes whether or not the Object implementing this interface must or must not participate in state saving or restoring.

      Specified by:

    • markInitialState

      public void markInitialState()
      Description copied from interface: PartialStateHolder

      The runtime must ensure that the PartialStateHolder.markInitialState() method is called on each instance of this interface in the view at the appropriate time to indicate the component is in its initial state. The implementor of the interface must ensure that PartialStateHolder.initialStateMarked() returns true from the time markInitialState() is called until PartialStateHolder.clearInitialState() is called, after which time initialStateMarked() must return false. Also, during the time that the instance returns true from initialStateMarked(), the implementation must return only the state that has changed in its implementation of StateHolder.saveState(javax.faces.context.FacesContext).

      Specified by:
      markInitialState in interface PartialStateHolder
