public AbstractRecursiveValueConverter()

The constructor.

Method Detail

getComposedValueConverter

protected ComposedValueConverter getComposedValueConverter()

This method gets the ComposedValueConverter owing this converter. It is required for recursive invocations during conversion.

Returns:

the ComposedValueConverter.

setComposedValueConverter

@Inject
public void setComposedValueConverter(ComposedValueConverter composedValueConverter)

This method sets (injects) the composedValueConverter. It has to be called before AbstractComponent.initialize() is invoked.

Parameters:

composedValueConverter - is the ComposedValueConverter to set.

doInitialize

protected void doInitialize()

Description copied from class: AbstractComponent

This method performs the actual initialization. It is called when AbstractComponent.initialize() is invoked for the first time.
ATTENTION:
When you override this method from a sub-class you need to do a super.AbstractComponent.doInitialize().

Overrides:
