I've written my own DateFieldHandler that extends GeneralizedFieldHandler. It works great when I associate it with a field as follows.
<mapping>
<description>Description of the mapping</description>
<class name="com.agedwards.model.Person">
<field name="birthday" type="date"
handler="com.agedwards.core.xml.DateFieldHandler">
<bind-xml name="dateOfBirth" node="element"/>
</field>
</class>
</mapping>
However, what I really want to do is associate it with ALL fields of type java.util.Date. In my real application there are too many such fields to do this for each one and I don't want to have to update my mapping file every time a new object field of type java.util.Date is added.
Is there a way I can associate a handler with a class instead of a field?
