Converts between java.lang.String
values in your component properties
and data types of java.math.BigInteger
. The converter is usually applied to the component property that is used to display values and to pick up values entered by users, such as the text
property of a Text Field component.
An example is binding a JavaServer Faces component to an Oracle database column
of type NUMBER
. 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.
