Method Details

format

public FormatResult format()

Returns formatted text and/or sets string fields from unprocessed form fields of the implementing class. This is the reverse of Form#manualParameterConvert and Validateable.validate().

Unprocessed form fields are those not processed by FormFormatterInterceptor for a number of reasons.

• Form field is a string, string array, or string collection, which are already formatted.
• Form field is annotated with ManualParameterConversion.
• Form field is a non-string array.
• Form field is a non-string collection without a converter annotation.
