[Springframework-developer] Error bean container on bean constructor argument

[452 - B. P. <bu...@ct...>]

Dear list,

I've been working with an error on a constructor argument in the bean
container. Spring seems to have problems with a primitive boolean
<constructor-arg> in a <bean> as in:

	<constructor-arg><value>true</value></constructor-arg>

But this is the way to go right? It says so in the Spring ref.

The error I get is this:

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error
creating bean with name 'customDateEditor' defined in resource
[/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml] of ServletContext: Unsatisfied
dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 1 of type
[boolean]: Did you specify the correct bean references as generic
constructor arguments?

The other arg is a SimpleDateFormat, here the whole definition.


	 <bean id=3D"customEditorConfigurer"
class=3D"org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer"=
>
	   <property name=3D"customEditors">
	     <map>
	       <entry key=3D"java.util.Date"><ref
local=3D"customDateEditor"/></entry>
	     </map>
	   </property>
	 </bean>

	<bean id=3D"customDateEditor"
class=3D"org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor">
		<constructor-arg><ref
local=3D"dateFormatSql"/></constructor-arg>
		<constructor-arg><value>true</value></constructor-arg>
	</bean>

	<bean id=3D"dateFormatSql" class=3D"java.text.SimpleDateFormat">
=09
<constructor-arg><value>yyyy-MM-dd</value></constructor-arg>
	</bean>


The obvious goal here is simply to get a CustomDateEditor registered.

Thank ahead!

Paul.
