Class org.xmlmiddleware.conversions.formatters.CharFormatter 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----org.xmlmiddleware.conversions.formatters.CharFormatter
public class CharFormatter
extends Object
implements StringFormatter
Implements the StringFormatter interface for Strings.

Note that this implementation is trivial -- it simply returns the String that is passed to parse() or format(). It exists only for completeness. That is, XML-DBMS needs a default StringFormatter for each JDBC type and this is the implementation for CHAR, VARCHAR, and LONGVARCHAR.
