## Class XWorkBasicConverter

- java.lang.Object
- - com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.impl.DefaultTypeConverter
  - - com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.impl.XWorkBasicConverter

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    TypeConverter

      public class XWorkBasicConverter
      extends DefaultTypeConverter

  XWork will automatically handle the most common type conversion for you. This includes support for converting to and from Strings for each of the following:

  - String
  - boolean / Boolean
  - char / Character
  - int / Integer, float / Float, long / Long, double / Double
  - dates - uses the SHORT format for the Locale associated with the current request
  - arrays - assuming the individual strings can be coverted to the individual items
  - collections - if not object type can be determined, it is assumed to be a String and a new ArrayList is created

  Note that with arrays the type conversion will defer to the type of the array elements and try to convert each item individually. As with any other type conversion, if the conversion can't be performed the standard type conversion error reporting is used to indicate a problem occurred while processing the type conversion.

      Description copied from interface: `TypeConverter`
      Converts the given value to a given type. The OGNL context, target, member and name of property being set are given. This method should be able to handle conversion in general without any context, target, member or property name specified.
      Specified by:
        `convertValue` in interface `TypeConverter`
      Overrides:
        `convertValue` in class `DefaultTypeConverter`
      Parameters:
        `context` - context under which the conversion is being done
        `o` - target object in which the property is being set
        `member` - member (Constructor, Method or Field) being set
        `propertyName` - property name being set
        `value` - value to be converted
        `toType` - type to which value is converted
      Returns:
        Converted value of type toType or TypeConverter.NoConversionPossible to indicate that the conversion was not possible.
