      • defaultValue

        public T defaultValue​(java.lang.Object defVal)
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        The default value to use when the object cannot be converted or in case of conversion from a null value.
        Specified by:
        defaultValue in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Parameters:
        defVal - The default value.
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • keysIgnoreCase

        public T keysIgnoreCase()
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        When converting between map-like types use case-insensitive mapping of keys.
        Specified by:
        keysIgnoreCase in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • sourceAs

        public T sourceAs​(java.lang.Class<?> cls)
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Treat the source object as the specified class. This can be used to disambiguate a type if it implements multiple interfaces or extends multiple classes.
        Specified by:
        sourceAs in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Parameters:
        cls - The class to treat the object as.
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • sourceAsBean

        public T sourceAsBean()
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Treat the source object as a JavaBean. By default objects will not be treated as JavaBeans, this has to be specified using this method.
        Specified by:
        sourceAsBean in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • sourceAsDTO

        public T sourceAsDTO()
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Treat the source object as a DTO even if the source object has methods or is otherwise not recognized as a DTO.
        Specified by:
        sourceAsDTO in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • targetAs

        public T targetAs​(java.lang.Class<?> cls)
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Treat the target object as the specified class. This can be used to disambiguate a type if it implements multiple interfaces or extends multiple classes.
        Specified by:
        targetAs in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Parameters:
        cls - The class to treat the object as.
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • targetAsBean

        public T targetAsBean()
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Treat the target object as a JavaBean. By default objects will not be treated as JavaBeans, this has to be specified using this method.
        Specified by:
        targetAsBean in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • targetAsDTO

        public T targetAsDTO()
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Treat the target object as a DTO even if it has methods or is otherwise not recognized as a DTO.
        Specified by:
        targetAsDTO in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.

      • view

        public T view()
        Description copied from interface: Specifying
        Return a live view over the backing object that reflects any changes to the original object. This is only possible with conversions to Map, Collection, List and Set. The live view object will cease to be live as soon as modifications are made to it. Note that conversions to an interface or annotation will always produce a live view that cannot be modified. This modifier has no effect with conversions to other types.
        Specified by:
        view in interface Specifying<T extends Specifying<T>>
        Returns:
        The current Converting object so that additional calls can be chained.
