That indeed sounds useful. However, specifying the class name is often =
not enough, as you might have to customize the editor instance. Of =
course, you can do that in code, i.e. your own BeanFactoryPostProcessor =
implementation.

A generic CustomEditorConfigurer could take a map with editor instances =
as values to achieve the same for simple enough editors. As the editors =
won't be needed otherwise, it would be convenient to define them as =
inner beans:

<bean id=3D"customEditorConfigurer"
      =
class=3D"org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer"=
>
  <property name=3D"customEditors">
    <map>
      <entry key=3D"java.util.Date">
        <bean class=3D"com.acme.MyCustomDateEditor"/></bean>
      </entry>
      <entry key=3D"mypackage.MyObject">
        <bean id=3D"myEditor" class=3D"mypackage.MyEditor">
          <property name=3D"myParam"><value>myValue</value></property>
        </bean>
      </entry>
    </map>
  </property>
</bean>

Subject: [Springframework-developer] Suggestion: Generic
BeanFactoryPostProcessor for registering custom PropertyEditors


I'd like to suggest adding a convenience BeanFactoryPostProcessor
implementation to org.springframework.beans.factory.config to register
custom PropertyEditors.  This seems like a very common need and an easy
addition.  Maybe something like:

<bean id=3D"customEditorConfigurer"
      =
class=3D"org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer"=
>
  <property name=3D"customEditors">
    <map>
      <entry key=3D"java.util.Date">
        <value>com.acme.MyCustomDateEditor</value>i
      </entry>
    </map>
  </property>
</bean>

The CustomEditorConfigurer bean would just iterate over the map entries
and call beanFactory.registerCustomerEditor() for each using the
specified property class and custom editor.

Seems like a simple and useful addition to the core framework.

Any thoughts?
Daniel
