Constructor Detail

BeanFieldSplit

public BeanFieldSplit(Class<?> type,
                      Field field,
                      boolean required,
                      Locale errorLocale,
                      CsvConverter converter,
                      String splitOn,
                      String writeDelimiter,
                      Class<? extends Collection> collectionType,
                      Class<?> elementType,
                      String capture,
                      String format)

The only valid constructor.

Parameters:

type - The type of the class in which this field is found. This is the type as instantiated by opencsv, and not necessarily the type in which the field is declared in the case of inheritance.

field - A Field object.

required - Whether or not this field is required in input

errorLocale - The errorLocale to use for error messages.

converter - The converter to be used to perform the actual data conversion

splitOn - See CsvBindAndSplitByName.splitOn()

writeDelimiter - See CsvBindAndSplitByName.writeDelimiter()

collectionType - See CsvBindAndSplitByName.collectionType()

elementType - See CsvBindAndSplitByName.elementType()

capture - See CsvBindAndSplitByName.capture()

format - The format string used for packaging values to be written. If null or empty, it is ignored.

Method Detail

convert

protected Object convert(String value)
                  throws CsvDataTypeMismatchException,
                         CsvConstraintViolationException

This method manages the collection being created as well as splitting the data. Once the data are split, they are sent to the converter for the actual conversion.

Specified by:

convert in class AbstractBeanField<T,I>

Parameters:

value - The string from the selected field of the CSV file. If the field is marked as required in the annotation, this value is guaranteed not to be null, empty or blank according to StringUtils.isBlank(java.lang.CharSequence)

Returns:

An Object representing the input data converted into the proper type

Throws:

CsvDataTypeMismatchException - If the input string cannot be converted into the proper type

CsvConstraintViolationException - When the internal structure of data would be violated by the data in the CSV file

ConverterPrimitiveTypes.convertToRead(java.lang.String), ConverterDate.convertToRead(java.lang.String), ConverterNumber.convertToRead(String)

convertToWrite

protected String convertToWrite(Object value)
                         throws CsvDataTypeMismatchException

Manages converting a collection of values into a single string. The conversion of each individual value is performed by the converter.

Overrides:

convertToWrite in class AbstractBeanField<T,I>

Parameters:

value - The contents of the field currently being processed from the bean to be written. Can be null if the field is not marked as required.

Returns:

A string representation of the value of the field in question in the bean passed in, or an empty string if value is null

Throws:

CsvDataTypeMismatchException - This implementation does not throw this exception

See Also:

AbstractBeanField.write(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)

isFieldEmptyForWrite

protected boolean isFieldEmptyForWrite(Object value)

Checks that value is not null and not an empty Collection.

Overrides:

isFieldEmptyForWrite in class AbstractBeanField<T,I>

Parameters:

value - The value of a field out of a bean that is being written to a CSV file. Can be null.

Returns:

Whether or not this implementation considers value to be empty for the purposes of its conversion
