OffsetDateTime converter

[bligny]

I'm using jodd.bean.BeanCopy to clone my beans, possibly with required conversions.

As far as I can see, the default converters that are registered (in TypeConverterManager.registerDefaults) do NOT include any converter to convert a value to java.time.OffsetDateTime, right ?

How can I register additional custom converters, in

new BeanCopy(srcBean, targetBean)
            .includeFields(true)
            .declared(true)
            .forced(true)
                         // .register(MyOffsetDateTimeConverter)    <= HOW ?
            .copy();

Hi!

You can register custom and new type converters using TypeConverterManager.get().register(....) method. Do this during the initialization of your application. From that point, all bean utils will be aware of your type converter.

Of course - you can send me your code, I will add OffsetDateTime to BeanUtils asap!

I was afraid that, when using BeanCopy I would not have access to the private instance of 'TypeConverterManager' (in BeanUtilUtil) but I did not catch that TypeConverterManager.get()always returns the same singleton :-) !!!

Thanks for your quick response.

Yeah, there is a singleton that is used by default; and in most cases, you may choose your own instance of TypeConverterManager; that is how it is designed :)

Here it is:

TypeConverterManager.get().register(OffsetDateTime.class, 
        new OffsetDateTimeConverter( ZoneId.of("Europe/Paris") )
    );

/*
 * OffsetDateTime converter

public class OffsetDateTimeConverter implements TypeConverter<OffsetDateTime> {

    private ZoneId _zoneId;

    public OffsetDateTimeConverter() {
        this( ZoneId.systemDefault() );
    }

    public OffsetDateTimeConverter(ZoneId zoneId) {
        _zoneId = zoneId;
    }

    @Override
    public OffsetDateTime convert(Object value) {
        if (value==null) {
            return null;
        } else if (value instanceof ZonedDateTime) {
            ZonedDateTime input = ZonedDateTime.class.cast(value);
            return input.toOffsetDateTime();
        } else if (value instanceof LocalDateTime) {
            LocalDateTime input = LocalDateTime.class.cast(value);          
            return input.atZone(_zoneId).toOffsetDateTime();
        } else if (value instanceof LocalDate) {
            LocalDate input = LocalDate.class.cast(value);
            return input.atStartOfDay(_zoneId).toOffsetDateTime();
        } else if (value instanceof Date) {             
            Date input = Date.class.cast(value);
            return OffsetDateTime.ofInstant( input.toInstant(), _zoneId);
        } else if (value instanceof String) {
            return OffsetDateTime.parse((String)value);
        } else {
            throw new TypeConversionException(value);
        }
    }
