All Implemented Interfaces:

AWObject, Compare

public final class PipedFormatter
extends AWFormatter
implements Compare

This formatter pipes String object values *backward* through its coercion formatter, and then forward through its data formatter. This is valuable when binding a UI field to an XML property that has a canonical *string* representation for a number or date, than then needs to be formatted by a conventional number or date formatter.
