Class ValueFormatter

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.ValueFormatter

abstract class ValueFormatter
extends java.lang.Object

Package-visible helper class for formatting values for rendering via a form tag. Supports two styles of formatting: plain and PropertyEditor-aware.

Plain formatting simply prevents the string 'null' from appearing, replacing it with an empty String, and adds HTML escaping as required.

PropertyEditor-aware formatting will attempt to use the supplied PropertyEditor to render any non-String value before applying the default rules of plain formatting.
