JDeveloper: How to setup and use a converter
In this post I show how to setup the server side part of a converter and how to use it in an application. Converters can have a client side too and all af:converter do have one. For a nice sample on what you can do with client side converters see ADF: Smart Input Date Client Converter. The big difference is that the client side converter is done on the client side with JavaScript and no server round trip is done for the conversation.
Why are converters needed at all?
Sometimes the data you get from a source like the database table is not in a format you like to show to the user. Common cases are showing strings in special formatting, e.g. social security numbers or phone numbers. You can use converters to show the content of clob and blob columns in the UI too.
The ADF framework provided some converters out of the box: Read the complete article here.
