Method Detail

castAs

public static <R> R castAs(Object value,
                           Class<R> type)

Casts or converts the value as type. This method is mostly a "number based" converter. If you pass a numeric value (number or string) it tries to convert data from this numeric value. So, if you try to convert a text format representation of a date value like "20150801", you will get undesirable result.

type - class to cast object as

Returns:

if possible returns value cast as class type

RuntimeException - if anything goes wrong
