Description copied from interface: PropertyType

Prepares the specified property value, performing all necessary conversions, but without actually applying it to the specified entity. The prepared values will be collected in a EntityUpdate instance which gets passed to any configured interceptors before the property is applied with the setValue method of this class.

Parameters:

entity - the entity to prepare the property for

value - the new value for the property

property - the property to prepare

context - the active IoContext

createChangeSet - whether a change set is being created

Returns:

the (possibly converted) value of the property as it will later be applied to the entity.
