Annotation Interface Convert

@Target({FIELD,METHOD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Convert
Specifies the conversion of a Basic field or property.

The Convert annotation should not be used to specify conversion of the following: Id attributes, version attributes, relationship attributes, and attributes explicitly denoted as Enumerated or Temporal. Applications that specify such conversions will not be portable.

The Convert annotation may be applied to a basic attribute or to an element collection of basic type (in which case the converter is applied to the elements of the collection).
