Converts between java.lang.String
values in your component properties
and data types of java.lang.Character
or the Java char
primitive
type. 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 to a database column
of type CHAR
. 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.
