JSF Long Converter

See Also | Tutorials

Converts between java.lang.String values in your component properties and data types of java.lang.Long or the Java long primitive type, a signed integer that ranges from -263 to 263-1, or -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807. The conversion usually applies to the property a component uses to display values and to pick up values entered by users. For example, the Text Field component uses the text property for this purpose.

An example is binding a JavaServer Faces component to a database column of type BIGINT. When you bind a component, the IDE normally identifies the data type for you and sets the appropriate converter when you establish a binding to the value property.  However, you can also add this converter manually by setting the component's converter property.
