> Key: BEANUTILS-228
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-228
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Michael Schuerig
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: LATER THAN 1.8.0
>
>
> 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)
>
