[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-274?page=comments#action_12423402 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-274: ------------------------------------
Thanks for the suggestion Andres. It's always very cool to see suggestions from other open source projects. I'm +1 to being able to move from [] to [][][][]....[] for Lang 2.3. Any chance of a patch for ArrayUtils and ArrayUtilsTest? Failing that, which particular code are you suggesting from the json-lib converter framework? One thing we've tried hard to do with Lang is to not create large numbers of interfaces that the user has to learn about and extend. Instead it focuses on having lots of useful functions that can be used in any situation. There was also a converter project started that we really need to try and figure out how to move again as its something that people need. > Support for multidimensional array conversion > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-274 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-274 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Andres Almiray > Priority: Minor > > Only unidimenisional array conversions are supported by ArrayUtils. I > recently had the new for this and seeing that Lang does not support the > feature, I hacked it myself (please see json-lib's <a > href="http://json-lib.cvs.sourceforge.net/json-lib/json-lib/";>cvs</a>/<a > href="http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/apidocs/net/sf/json/converter/package-frame.html";>javadoc</a> > for reference). I think that this feature may be useful to others and that > json-lib is not the correct project for it. > This issue is at the boundaries between lang and beanutils. Lang allows the > conversion of an unidimensional array between wrappers and primitives. > BeanUtils allows conversion from String to unidimensional arrays. As > BeanUtils is more fragile then Lang I thought this was the correct place to > post the issue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
