Posible bug in Controllers of entities of one field

[gfz87]

Hi everybody, I just wanted to report a possible bug. When an entity has only one field, for example a Date, when the controller is generated, it tries to return a String without adding the toString() method to fields. This cause a compile error:

@InitBinder
    void ReciboController.registerConverters(WebDataBinder binder) {
        if (binder.getConversionService() instanceof GenericConversionService) {
            GenericConversionService conversionService = (GenericConversionService) binder.getConversionService();
            conversionService.addConverter(new Converter<Recibo, String>() {
                public String convert(Recibo recibo) {
                    return recibo.getFecha();
                }
            });
        }
    }

Indeed, that is a problem. Please raise a bug for it.
