common use case for such preprocessing is the evaluation of variables within the configuration value.

preprocessValue
Object preprocessValue(String value,
Class<?> type)
throws BeanConfigurationException
- Preprocesses the specified bean configuration value. The optional type provided to this method is a hint (not a
requirement) for the preprocessor to resolve the value to a compatible value or a (string) value than can be
unmarshalled into that type. The preprocessor is not required to perform any type conversion but should rather
filter out incompatible values from its result.
- Parameters:
value
- The configuration value to preprocess, must not be null
.type
- The target type of the value, may be null
.
- Returns:
- The processed configuration value or
null
if none.
- Throws:
BeanConfigurationException
- If an error occurred while preprocessing the value.
