PropertyEditors
PropertyEditor
defines how to convert a string literal that is defined as a value for a property, or constructor argument in the bean definition files, to the target type. Spring can convert simple primitive values (such as int, long
, and boolean)
and their corresponding wrapper types (such as Integer, Long
, and Boolean)
from the string form to the target primitive type. Additionally, Spring uses a number of built-in PropertyEditor
, allowing some extra types to be converted. The following table shows these built-in PropertyEditor
and the target type to which each converts the string literal. All of these PropertyEditor
are located in the org.springframework.beans.propertyeditor
package:
