Class ParseBool

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    CellProcessor, StringCellProcessor

    public class ParseBool
    extends CellProcessorAdaptor
    implements StringCellProcessor
    Converts a String to a Boolean.

    The default values for true are: "true", "1", "y", "t"

    The default values for false are: "false", "0", "n", "f"

    By default (unless the ignoreCase parameter is supplied on the constructor) this processor will ignore the case of the value, i.e. "true", "TRUE", and "True" will all be converted to true (likewise for false).

    Prior to version 2.2.1, this processor always ignored case, so it was necessary to ensure that all supplied true/false values were lowercase, as the input was converted to lowercase before comparison against the true/false values (to handle all variations of case in the input). This is no longer required (just use the ignoreCase parameter).
