I have worked on some project and I come across situations where one particular object has to be transforming another.
In general, it's java classes that originate in COBOL that I convert to another type, but with clearer and more intuitive class names, methods, and attributes.
I have used Apache Collections , more specifically the # and related utility classes.
Transformer
Transformer
I have adopted something like <NomeDoBean>Transformer as the class name. My question is:
What is the difference between Converter and Transformer , in this context?
I know JSF uses the term Converter . Which term to use and why?
