NetBeans JSF Converter Template

Object conversion is a common requirement in JSF. Surprisingly there is no template for a JSF Converter in the NetBeans Template list. I have created a template to create JSF Converters in NetBeans.

To use the template is very simple:

1. Download the template.
2. Start NetBeans.
3. Go to Tools --> Templates.
4. Select the JavaServer Faces folder.
5. Select Add from the menu.
6. Locate the file you downloaded and select it, and you are done.

Here is the file: Converter.zip

public class ${name} implements Converter{

    public Object getAsObject(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent component, String value) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
    }

public String getAsString(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent component, Object value) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
    }
}
