Method from org.springframework.beans.TypeConverter Summary:
convertIfNecessary, convertIfNecessary

Method from org.springframework.beans.TypeConverter Detail:
public Object convertIfNecessary(Object value, Class requiredType) throws TypeMismatchException Convert the value to the required type (if necessary from a String). Conversions from String to any type will typically use the `setAsText` method of the PropertyEditor class. Note that a PropertyEditor must be registered for the given class for this to work; this is a standard JavaBeans API. A number of PropertyEditors are automatically registered.
public Object convertIfNecessary(Object value, Class requiredType, MethodParameter methodParam) throws TypeMismatchException Convert the value to the required type (if necessary from a String). Conversions from String to any type will typically use the `setAsText` method of the PropertyEditor class. Note that a PropertyEditor must be registered for the given class for this to work; this is a standard JavaBeans API. A number of PropertyEditors are automatically registered.
