Simon,
You can create and register your own PropertyEditors to get around
this. PropertyEditors convert the string representation to an object
for injection.

Hi,
I've been working with Restlet for some time now, and it's a great
framework.
But I've got one problem with the Spring Extension in 1.1 M1. I want to
use SpringHost and attach some Restlets to it. SpringHost has the method
setRoutes(Map<String,Object> routes). But when I configure this in my
beans.xml:
<bean id="myID" class="org.restlet.ext.spring.SpringHost">
<property name="resourceDomain" value="^myVHost.*" />
<property name="routes">
<map>
<entry key="/">
<bean class="MyRestlet" />
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
I get the following error:
[...]java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type
[java.util.LinkedHashMap] to required type [org.restlet.util.RouteList]
for property 'routes'[...]
It seems that Spring tries to call the method setRoutes(RouteList
routes) from the Router class.
When I create my own class MySpringHost (extends VirtualHost) and name
the method setAttachments(Map<String, Object> routes) and then use:
<bean id="myID" class="MySpringHost">
<property name="resourceDomain" value="^myVHost.*" />
<property name="attachments">
<map>
<entry key="/">
<bean class="MyRestlet" />
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
everything works fine.
Is there any workaround or configuration option, other than creating my
own SpringHost and renaming the method?
Thanks,
Simon
