Confirmed.

Your class must implement an interface. I encountered the same issue when assigning a <util:map> with <String, MyCustomClass> to my service class. I've applied AOP but Spring keeps throwing a "no matching editors or conversions strategy found" exception.

It turns out my service class has a map property that doesn't use an interface. For example, Map<String, MyCustomClass>. I changed it to an interface: Map<String, ICustomClass>. (Of course you need to create the interface which is trivial).

Code:

---

    <bean id="versionService" class="my.service.VersionService"
            p:animalDAOMap-ref="animalDAOMap" />

        <util:map id="animalDAOMap">
            <entry key="dog" value-ref="dogDAO"/>
            <entry key="cat" value-ref="catDAO"/>
            <entry key="monkey" value-ref="monkeyDAO"/>
        </util:map>

On my VersionService, I have an animalDAOMap property declared as

Code:

---

private Map animalDAOMap<String, CustomDAO>

CustomDAO is not an interface! This works fine but when applying AOP, I get the error. Solution: You must convert the CustomDAO to an interface!
