Converts between java.lang.String
values in your component properties
and data types of java.lang.Byte
or the Java byte
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 SMALLINT
or TINYINT
. 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.

name: 'entered-value' must be a converter-type.
In this message, name is either the ID of the component or the contents of its label if the component has one, entered-value is the value that the user entered, and converter-type is the type of the converter. For example, if the converter is a Big Decimal converter, the converter-type is signed decimal number
.
