Custom property editor doesn't fire in new version of spring

[zaplitny]

I have an application context and registered custom editor.
When application starts and bean factory is initialized custom editor is called for bean creation but when later in application i create the bean with beanFactory.getBean("beanName") it is not called. spring-2.0 calls it in both cases. Is it a new feature or bug?

Depends on your code

Is it possible to see what you were trying to do?

[zaplitny]

It is registered in the following way
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.Cu stomEditorConfigurer">
<property name="customEditors">
<map>
<entry key="java.lang.String">
<bean class="com.my.CustomEditor"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
Later the following code gets bean from context
Object target = targetsMap.get(targetSelector);
if (target == null) {
target = beanFactory.getBean(targetName);
}
and editor fires only the first time.
The bean is prototype. In spring-2.0.4 it fires but in 2.0.6 - no.

BeanWrapperImpl :

spring-2.0.3 : Object convertedValue = this.typeConverterDelegate.convertIfNecessary(oldV alue, newValue, pd);

spring-2.0.6 : Object convertedValue = (propertyValue.isConverted() ? pv.getConvertedValue() :
this.typeConverterDelegate.convertIfNecessary(oldV alue, pv.getValue(),pd));

propertyValues for bean with current name are taken from map, and when it is taken after bean creation, its propertyValue.converted = true
It means that I cannot generate dynamic propertyValues with propertyEditor. Is there another way of doing this?

It means that I cannot generate dynamic propertyValues with propertyEditor.

What does that mean? Where do you need/want dynamic property values? And in which way are they dynamic?

You should also consider using PropertyEditorRegistrar.
