        public byte[] convert​(java.lang.Object value)
        Description copied from interface: TypeConverter
        Converts object received as parameter into object of another class. For example, an Integer converter tries to convert given objects into target Integer object. Converters should try all reasonable ways of conversion into target object, depending on target type.
        Specified by:
        convert in interface TypeConverter<byte[]>
        Parameters:
        value - object to convert from
        Returns:
        resulting object converted to target type
      • convertType

        protected byte convertType​(java.lang.Object value)
        Converts type using type converter manager.
      • convertToSingleElementArray

        protected byte[] convertToSingleElementArray​(java.lang.Object value)
        Creates an array with single element.
      • convertValueToArray

        protected byte[] convertValueToArray​(java.lang.Object value)
        Converts non-array value to array. Detects various types and collections, iterates them to make conversion and to create target array.
      • convertArrayToArray

        protected byte[] convertArrayToArray​(java.lang.Object value)
        Converts array value to array.
