public AbstractWorkflowNodeConverter()

Method Details

convertNodes

public Object convertNodes(Object value,
 boolean isMany)

Converts a Collection of NodeRefs or a single NodeRef. The return type is dependent on the value of isMany. If true then a List of the appropriate Node type is returned. Otherwise a single instance of the appropriate Node type is returned.

Specified by:

convertNodes in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

Parameters:

value - Object

isMany - boolean

Returns:

Object

convertNode

public Object convertNode(NodeRef value,
 boolean isMany)

Converts a NodeRef. The return type is dependent on the value of isMany. If true then a List of the appropriate Node type is returned. Otherwise a single instance of the appropriate Node type is returned.

Specified by:

convertNode in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

Parameters:

value - NodeRef

isMany - boolean

Returns:

Object

convertNodes

public Object convertNodes(Collection<NodeRef> values,
 boolean isMany)

Converts a Collection of NodeRefs. The return type is dependent on the value of isMany. If true then a List of the appropriate Node type is returned. Otherwise a single instance of the appropriate Node type is returned.

Specified by:

convertNodes in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

isMany - boolean

Returns:

Object

convertToNodes

public List<NodeRef> convertToNodes(Object value)

Specified by:

convertToNodes in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

convertToNodes

public List<NodeRef> convertToNodes(Collection<?> toConvert)

Specified by:

convert

public Serializable convert(Object object)

Description copied from interface: WorkflowNodeConverter

Converts the object to a NodeRef or a List of NodeRefs. The return type is dependant on the type of the object parameter. If the object parameter is a Collection then a List of NodeRefs is returned. Otherwise a single NodeRef is returned.

Specified by:

convert in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

Parameters:

object - NodeRef

Returns:

Serializable

convertNode

public abstract Object convertNode(NodeRef node)

Description copied from interface: WorkflowNodeConverter

Converts a NodeRef into the appropriate Node type.

Specified by:

convertNode in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

Parameters:

node - NodeRef

Returns:

Object

convertNodes

public abstract List<? extends Object> convertNodes(Collection<NodeRef> values)

Description copied from interface: WorkflowNodeConverter

Converts a Collection of NodeRefs into a List of the appropriate Node type.

Specified by:

convertNodes in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

Returns:

List

convertToNode

public abstract NodeRef convertToNode(Object toConvert)

Specified by:

convertToNode in interface WorkflowNodeConverter

Parameters:

toConvert - Object

Returns:

NodeRef
