Class StringToBooleanConverter

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tapestry.coerce.StringToBooleanConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypeConverter

public final class StringToBooleanConverter
extends Object
implements TypeConverter

Converts a String to a Boolean. Strings that do contain non-whitespace are considered true. As a special case, the string "false" evaluates to false (this allow boolean component parameters to be bound to "false" instead of "ognl:false" and still operate as expected).
