@Convert
The @Convert annotation specifies that a named converter should be used with the corresponding mapped attribute.
@Target({METHOD, FIELD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Convert { String value() default "none"; }
The @Convert has the following reserved names:
- serialized – places the org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.converters.SerializedObjectConverter on the associated mapping.
- none – does not place a converter on the associated mapping.
| Attribute | Description | Default | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| value | The String name for your converter. | "none" String | No |
The following example shows how to use the @Convert annotation to define the Employee field gender.
Example: @Convert Annotation
@Entity @Table(name="EMPLOYEE") @Converter( name="genderConverter", converterClass=org.myorg.converters.GenderConverter.class ) public class Employee implements Serializable{ ... @Basic @Convert("genderConverter") public String getGender() { return gender; } ... }
