Converter
,ConverterMatcher
public class ToAttributedValueConverter extends java.lang.Object implements Converter
Converter that supports the definition of one field member that will be written as value and all other field members are written as attributes. The converter requires that all the field types (expect the one with the value) are handled by aSingleValueConverter
. The value field is defined using the name of the type that declares the field and the field name itself. Therefore it is possible to define an inherited field as value. It is also possible to provide no value field at all, so that all fields are written as attributes.- Since:
