Benjamin Bentmann updated XBEAN-112:
------------------------------------
Attachment: XBEAN-112.patch
Proposed patch.
> Allow conversion from File, URL, Number etc. to String
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XBEAN-112
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-112
> Project: XBean
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: reflect
> Affects Versions: 3.4.2
> Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
> Attachments: XBEAN-112.patch
>
>
> Values of type {{File}}, {{URL}}, {{Integer}} etc. can naturally be converted
> to strings. However, the {{ObjectRecipe}} currently blows up if one passes
> such objects into a string-typed property.
> Some background on the motivation: The property values are not be provided
> via an XML configuration, i.e. are not natively represented as strings, but
> are instead retrieved from some expression evaluator that (reflectively)
> queries a property value from some other bean. If those expressions deliver a
> non-string-typed value, they can't be injected into a string-typed field.
> This is pity given that a mere invocation of {{toString()}} does the trick
> and for instance allows to pass a filesystem path into a String field
> regardless whether the path happens to be represented by a {{String}} or a
> {{File}} object.
