All Implemented Interfaces:

AttributeConverter

public class DemoFlattenPropertyConverter
extends PropertyConverter

An example of a property converter, which can be triggered on a attribute according to the presence of one or more metadata settings on it (as defined when it is registered in conf/connector.xml (connector-specific scope) or conf/server_jcs.xml (global scope)). It's constructors can investigate possible target attributes and use Vetoable.setVetoed(boolean) when the converter should not actually be applied to the candidate attribute target.

Note that this converter is a bit of contrived, as the framework has a number of flatteners included in it already (like XMLMultiValueFlattener) but is designed to show what is involved in writing, configuring and registering a converter.

Also note that
