Method Detail

fromObject

public Bc.BcExecutor fromObject(java.lang.Object obj,
                                TerpContext ctx)

Converts the given object into an object of the target type. Conversions can be implemented in any way that makes sense. Normally, converters will return null for null, but some converters may choose to interpret null as an indicator to return a default-initialized target object. An example of this type of conversion is the ShellExecutor. null simply indicates that no preference overrides of any kind have been provided. This converter interprets null or an empty input map as a request for the default instance of Bc.exe.

Specified by:

fromObject in interface Converter<Bc.BcExecutor>

Parameters:

obj - the source object.

ctx - the context in which the conversion takes place.

Returns:

an instance of the target type or null.
