Class BeanStringSwap<T>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap<T,String>

org.apache.juneau.transform.StringSwap<T>

org.apache.juneau.transforms.BeanStringSwap<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The class type of the bean.

public class BeanStringSwap<T>
extends StringSwap<T>

Transforms beans into Strings by simply calling the Object.toString() method.

Allows you to specify classes that should just be converted to Strings instead of potentially being turned into Maps by the BeanContext (or worse, throwing BeanRuntimeExceptions).

This is usually a one-way transform. Beans serialized as strings cannot be reconstituted using a parser unless it is a Type 5 POJO.
