http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31568 ConvertUtilsBean: register converter for specific property Summary: ConvertUtilsBean: register converter for specific property Product: Commons Version: 1.5 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Bean Utilities AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, converters are selected only based on the class to which they convert objects. In general this works pretty well, but I've encountered cases, where this doesn't work out. For example, I'm using java.util.Date objects to represent points and intervals in time that are not completely specific, such as day of the week and month. Now I can easily write a Converter that uses SimpleDateFormat to convert string representations of these dates ("Mon", "Feb") to Date objects. When I register one of these converters with ConvertUtils(Bean), though, it preempts any conversion to Date. Something I clearly don't want as I have to deal with different kinds of dates. As a solution, I'd like to be able to register a converter for a specific property of a bean class, with a method this ConvertUtilsBean#register(Converter converter, java.lang.Class destinationClass, java.lang.Class beanClass, java.lang.String propertyName) Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
