org.restlet.service.ConverterService
public class ConverterService
- extends Object
Service converting message entities into higher-level objects. As the default
implementation doesn't do any convertion by default, you have to subclass it
and update the Application's "converterService" property with your own
instance. Once this done, any Restlet or Resource that is part of this
application can easily convert from representations to objects and the other
way around. You just have to use the getEntityAsObject() method to convert a
message's representation into a higher-level object and the setEntity(Object)
method to convert a higher-level object into a representation.
