Class AccountNumberFormatter

java.lang.Object

org.pojomatic.formatter.DefaultPropertyFormatter

org.pojomatic.formatter.AccountNumberFormatter

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyFormatter

Deprecated.

While this formatter can prevent the toString representation of an object including a full account number, the full number can still be visible in heap dumps. A more secure approach is to avoid storing plaintext private account numbers in memory at all (or at most, for as long as it takes to encrypt them). This formatter will be removed in a future release of Pojomatic. Clients who feel they still need this functionality should implement it themselves.

@Deprecated
public class AccountNumberFormatter
extends DefaultPropertyFormatter

A property formatter which shows only the last 4 characters of the string representation of the Property, with all others replaced by an asterisk ('*'). Useful for credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc.

For example, a 16 character String representing a credit card number would be formatted as "************1234".
