    • 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.
