Interface DatatypeConverterInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:
DatatypeConverterImpl

public interface DatatypeConverterInterface
The DatatypeConverterInterface is a helper class for implementation of custom print() and parse() methods, as specified by jaxb:javaType/@printMethod and jaxb:javaType/@parseMethod. However, the JAXB user won't be accessing this class directly. The JAXB provider is required to create an instance of this class and pass it to the JAXB runtime by invoking javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter#setDatatypeConverter(DatatypeConverterInterface). The JAXB user may access this instance via the static methods of DatatypeConverter.

The interface provides methods parseFoo() and printFoo() for any XML Schema type foo. The parseFoo() method must accept any lexically valid value and convert it into the corresponding canonical value. An error in the conversion routine must be mapped to a ParseConversionEvent.

The printFoo(foo pValue) method must convert the value pValue into an arbitrary lexical representation. It is recommended to use the default representation.

Since:
JAXB 1.0
