processingDomain:ApplicationDomain
The ApplicationDomain to be used by converters that need to use reflection.
This hook allows to temporarily overwrite the default, which is using the domain
the owner class of the property or method that triggers conversion belongs to.
Sometimes the default is not sufficient, for example when a framework class has
a property of type Class
that may hold values pointing to classes
loaded into child ApplicationDomains.
It is recommended to set this value in a try/finally clause and set it back to the previous value in the finally clause.
public static function get processingDomain():ApplicationDomain
public static function set processingDomain(value:ApplicationDomain):void
addConverter | () | method |
public static function addConverter(type:Class, converter:Converter):void
Registers a Converter for the specified class. Converters will be used for automatic type conversion when setting property values with Spicelib Property instances or invoking methods with Spicelib Method instances.
Parameters
type:Class — the class for which to register the Converter
| |
converter:Converter — the Converter instance to be used for the specified type
|
convert | () | method |
public static function convert(value:*, targetType:Class, domain:ApplicationDomain = null):*
Converts the given value to the specified target type.
If no conversion is necessary the value will be returned unchanged.
Otherwise this method will look for a matching Converter
instance and try to convert the value.
Parameters
value:* — the value to convert
| |
targetType:Class — the type to convert the value to
| |
domain:ApplicationDomain (default = null )
|
* |
ConversionError — if the conversion fails or if there is no Converter registered for the
specified type.
|
getConverter | () | method |
public static function getConverter(type:Class):Converter
Returns the Converter registered for the specified class.
Parameters
type:Class — the class for which to return the registered Converter
|
Converter — the Converter registered for the specified class or null if no Converter has been
registered for that class
