Property Editor

[falaserioaih]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a "StatePropertyEditor", which is supposed to transform a string (the id of the state) that comes from a dropdown of state selection. This property editor needs to consult the database and get the state object from its primary key.

The problem that my "stateService" attribute isn't being setted by spring. I make a right declaration of the "StatePropertyEditor" bean in applicationContext.xml, I create its "stateService" property, refering it to "stateService" bean, but in my StatePropertyEditor class, "stateService" is null.

Am I making some stupid mistake? Is there any "trick" on spring's Ioc when working with property editors?

Thanks very much.

Mauricio

Can you post your configuration and StatePropertyEditor code? Did you configure the PropertyEditor as described in the reference doc? Sample:

<bean id="customEditorConfigurer" 
    class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
    <property name="customEditors">
        <map>
            <entry key="example.ExoticType">
                <bean class="example.ExoticTypeEditor"/>
            </entry>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

No "tricks", sorry ...

Thanks for trying to help me, delnoij

The solution I found was get spring 1.2.1 (until now, I was working on 1.1.3), which MultiActionController's can have an initBinder method, so I could register my editor by java code. :lol:
