How to remove or replace Spring MVC's default property editor?

[Springsky]

I need to write a Integer property editor that accepts empty value and sets corresponding fields of an object to null. It seems that the built-in Integer property editor cannot do that.

I added the new Integer property editor as I did for other custom property editor (they work), but it is not working. It seems the new custom property editor does not replace the built-in one.

Thanks for help!

All the best.

My bad. I did not notice that my Integer field is defined as "int". I changed it to Integer and then everything is working.
