[jira] [Commented] (OAK-380) Define conversion of property values

["Michael Dürig (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-380?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13477811#comment-13477811 ] 

Michael Dürig commented on OAK-380:
-----------------------------------

The conversions currently in place are the same we had earlier on {{CoreValue}} (i.e. before OAK-350). I'm not sure what the original motivation was for the kind of conversions which are built in but I think we should either

# Provide no conversion at all at that level but have a dedicated utility for handling conversions or, 
# provide all conversion mandated by JCR. 

In the latter case I'd still delegate that conversion functionality to a utility method which then could also be used otherwise.

> i just run into the situation of converting a propertystate's value
> of type Date to a Long, which currently throws numberformatexception.
> while i can work around this, i think we should come up with a clear
> definition on value conversion provided by oak-api. the only thing i

> that a conversion in done but not which conversions are supported.
> unless otherwise specified i had silently expected that simple jcr-conversions
> would work.
