Field Detail

PRIMITIVE_CLASSES

public static final java.util.Set<java.lang.Class<?>> PRIMITIVE_CLASSES

Deprecated.

A Set that stores all the supported primitive classes.

Method Detail

isPrimitive

public static boolean isPrimitive(java.lang.Object object)

Deprecated.

Checks if the provided object is an instance of a primitive class.

Parameters:

object - the Object to check

Returns:

true if the object is a primitive, false otherwise

resolveProperty

public static java.lang.Object resolveProperty(java.lang.Object target,
                                               java.lang.Object property)

Deprecated.

Given the target object, this method attempts to resolve and return the value of the passed property.

The property can be either an index or a name:

• index: the property is considered an index if its value is an integer number and in this case the target will be assumed to be either an array or it will be converted to a Collection; a fallback to Map will be made in case the previous two attempts failed
• name: the property will be converted to a String (see toString(Object)); the target will be assumed to be either a Map or an object; if the Map attempt fails, the property will be used to check if the target has a publicly accessible field with this name or a publicly accessible method with no parameters with this name or a combination of the "get" or "is" prefixes plus the capitalised name (see invokeBeanMethod(Object, String))

Parameters:

target - the target object

property - the property to be resolved

Returns:

the value of the property or null

toBoolean

public static boolean toBoolean(java.lang.Object object)

Deprecated.

Converts the given object to a boolean value, applying the following rules:

• if the object is null the returned value is false
• if the object is a Number the method will return false only if the number's value is 0
• if the String representation of the object is equal irrespective of its casing to "true", the method will return true
• if the object is a Collection or a Map, the method will return true only if the collection / map is not empty
• if the object is an array, the method will return true only if the array is not empty

Parameters:

object - the target object

Returns:

the boolean representation of the object according to the conversion rules

toNumber

public static java.lang.Number toNumber(java.lang.Object object)

Deprecated.

Coerces the passed object to a numeric value. If the passed value is a String the conversion rules are those of NumberUtils.createNumber(String).

Parameters:

object - the target object

Returns:

the numeric representation if one can be determined or null

See Also:

NumberUtils.createNumber(String)

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object object)

Deprecated.

Converts the passed object to a String. The following rules apply:

• if the object is null an empty string will be returned
• if the object is an instance of a String the object itself will be returned
• if the object is a primitive (see isPrimitive(Object)), its String representation will be returned
• if the object is an Enum its name will be returned (see Enum.name())
• otherwise an attempt to convert the object to a Collection will be made and then the output of collectionToString(Collection) will be returned

Parameters:

object - the target object

Returns:

the string representation of the object or an empty string

toCollection

public static java.util.Collection<java.lang.Object> toCollection(java.lang.Object object)

Deprecated.

Forces the conversion of the passed object to a collection, according to the following rules:

• if the object is null an empty collection will be returned
• if the object is an array a list transformation of the array will be returned
• if the object is a Collection the object itself will be returned
• if the object is an instance of a Map the map's key set will be returned (see Map.keySet())
• if the object is an instance of an Enumeration a list transformation will be returned
• if the object is an instance of an Iterator or Iterable the result of fromIterator(Iterator) will be returned
• if the object is an instance of a String or Number a Collection containing only this object will be returned
• any other case not covered by the previous rules will result in an empty Collection

Parameters:

object - the target object

Returns:

the collection representation of the object

collectionToString

public static java.lang.String collectionToString(java.util.Collection<?> collection)

Deprecated.

Converts the passed collection to a comma separated values String representation.

Parameters:

collection - the collection to be converted to CSV

Returns:

the CSV; if the collection is empty then an empty string will be returned

fromIterator

public static java.util.Collection<java.lang.Object> fromIterator(java.util.Iterator<java.lang.Object> iterator)
