Method Detail

toClient

public String toClient(E value)

Converts a value into a client-side representation. The value should be parseable by ValueEncoder.toValue(String). In some cases, what is returned is an identifier used to locate the true object, rather than a string representation of the value itself.

Specified by:

toClient in interface ValueEncoder<E>

Parameters:

value - to be encoded

Returns:

a string representation of the value, or the value's identity

toValue

public E toValue(String clientValue)

Converts a client-side representation, provided by ValueEncoder.toClient(Object), back into a server-side value.

Specified by:

toValue in interface ValueEncoder<E>

Parameters:

clientValue - string representation of the value's identity

Returns:

the corresponding entity, or null if not found
