Interface StringPersistConverter

All Known Implementing Classes:

SandStringPersistConverter

public interface StringPersistConverter

Defines a converter from an unsupported persistent field type to a String. A StringPersistConverter is principally used by the DataManager to convert types which would otherwise not be possible to store as direct components of a persistent message.

Persistence directly supports int, long, double, String, Date, and references to other persistent objects. A StringPersistConverter is used for everything else.
