public class ArrayConverterFactory

extends Registrar

Provides a way to get the appropriate ArrayConverter to convert a primitive array into an array holding the same data where each element is converted into its boxed type. In Java 1.4, primitive arrays cannot simply be cast to the boxed type, so an explicit conversion is necessary.

                              throws ClassNotFoundException

Called to convert a primitive array into an Object array with the appropriate wrapped type.

Parameters:

object - an array of some primitive type

arrayClass - the primitive type of the array (boolean.class, int.class, etc.)

dim - the number of dimensions of the array (the dimension of int[3] is 1, the dimension of int[3][4] is 2, etc.)

Returns:

an Object array with the appropriate wrapped type for the primitive type of the array of object.
