public static AttributeConverterDefinition from(Class<? extends AttributeConverter> attributeConverterClass,
                                                boolean autoApply)

Build an AttributeConverterDefinition from the AttributeConverter Class reference and whether or not to auto-apply it.

Parameters:

attributeConverterClass - The AttributeConverter Class

autoApply - Should the AttributeConverter be auto-applied?

Returns:

The constructed definition

from

public static AttributeConverterDefinition from(Class<? extends AttributeConverter> attributeConverterClass)

Build an AttributeConverterDefinition from the AttributeConverter Class reference. The converter is searched for a Converter annotation to determine whether it should be treated as auto-apply. If the annotation is present, Converter.autoApply() is used to make that determination. If the annotation is not present, false is assumed.

Parameters:

attributeConverterClass - The converter class

Returns:

The constructed definition

from

public static AttributeConverterDefinition from(AttributeConverter attributeConverter)

Build an AttributeConverterDefinition from an AttributeConverter instance. The converter is searched for a Converter annotation to determine whether it should be treated as auto-apply. If the annotation is present, Converter.autoApply() is used to make that determination. If the annotation is not present, false is assumed.

Parameters:

attributeConverter - The AttributeConverter instance

Returns:

The constructed definition

                                                boolean autoApply)

Build an AttributeConverterDefinition from the AttributeConverter instance and whether or not to auto-apply it.

Parameters:

attributeConverter - The AttributeConverter instance

autoApply - Should the AttributeConverter be auto-applied?
