NumberFormatException binding to Number

[kbaum]

We are binding a text input field to a property of type Long on our command class. We have a Validator which checks that the user's input is a valid number format, but in the case the user enters non-digit characters, these validations are never reached. Instead, the CustomNumberEditor throws a NumberFormatException and the user gets the following error message in the jsp:

Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.lang.Long] for property 'quantity'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "dfkjd"

Is there any way to customize this error message? Thanks.

Yes there is, and you can do a lot with it.

e.g.
typeMismatch.java.sql.Date=Could not convert date

see http://www.springframework.org/docs/...sResolver.html

or search this forum a bit
