Method Details

format

FormatResult format()

Returns formatted text 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 annotated with ManualParameterConversion.
• Form field is a non-string single value, array, or collection with no converter/list converter annotation and no default converter/list converter exists.
