createConverter

public static Converter createConverter(FileType fromType,
                                        FileType toType)
                                 throws ConversionException

Passed the "from" and "to" types of a conversion request, return an appropriate converter that knows how to perform the conversion.

Parameters:

fromType - The type that will be converted from

toType - Type of file that will be converted to

Returns:

An instance of the requested converter

Throws:

ConversionException - if unable to create the requested Converter

createConverter

public static Converter createConverter(FileType fromType,
                                        FileType toType,
                                        FileType originalType)
                                 throws ConversionException

Passed the "from" and "to" types of a conversion request, return an appropriate converter that knows how to perform the conversion.

New functionality: A new third parameter--originalType--is now used for converters that convert from XLIFF to a format that is different from the original format. This occurs, for example, with PDF, where the export of target documents is currently to Word, ODT or plaintext. (Some future release of the PDF Exporters might actually be smart enough to export back to PDF format and have it look reasonable [sigh].)

Parameters:

fromType - The type that will be converted from

toType - Type of file that will be converted to

Returns:

An instance of the requested converter

Throws:

ConversionException - if unable to create the requested Converter

                                 throws ConversionException

Passed the "from" and "to" types of a conversion request, as well as the file name of the "from" file (with the full path specified) return an appropriate converter that knows how to perform the conversion.

Parameters:
