public DateConverter()
              throws DSETypeException
Creates a converter for business objects of the Date type.

Throws:
DSETypeException

DateConverter

public DateConverter(java.lang.String[] supportedConversionTypes,
                     java.util.Hashtable keyValuePairs)
              throws DSETypeException
Creates a converter for business objects of the Date type.

Method Detail

convertTo

public java.lang.Object convertTo(java.lang.Object obj,
                                  java.lang.String convType,
                                  PropertyDescription pd,
                                  boolean byReference,
