Spring Framework - PropertyEditorRegistrar Examples

Spring Framework 

In this XML config example a user defined PropertyEditorRegistrar implementation is registered with CustomEditorConfigurer. This is the right approach to register a custom PropertyEditor.

package com.logicbig.example;

import org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistrar;
import org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistry;
import org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomNumberEditor;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class XmlCustomEditorExample {

public static void main (String[] args) {
ApplicationContext context = new
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-config2.xml");
MyBean bean = context.getBean(MyBean.class);
System.out.println(bean);
}

public static class MyBean {
private Double price;

public Double getPrice () {
return price;
}

public void setPrice (Double price) {
this.price = price;
}

@Override
public String toString () {
return "MyBean{" + "price=" + price + '}';
}
}

public static class MyCustomEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
@Override
public void registerCustomEditors (PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
NumberFormat numberFormat = new DecimalFormat("##,###.00");
registry.registerCustomEditor(java.lang.Double.class,
new CustomNumberEditor(java.lang.Double.class,
numberFormat, true));
}
}
}

Output

MyBean{price=45678.567}

src/main/resources/spring-config2.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<property name="propertyEditorRegistrars">

<bean class="com.logicbig.example.XmlCustomEditorExample.MyCustomEditorRegistrar" />

</property>
</bean>

This JavaConfig example shows how to use PropertyEditorRegistrar implementation to register a custom editor. Here we use PropertyEditor to convert text from a property file to a Java object.

package com.logicbig.example;

import org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistrar;
import org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistry;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer;
import org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.PropertySource;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class ValueAnnotationExample2 {

public static void main (String[] args) {
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context =
new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(Config.class);
ClientBean bean = context.getBean(ClientBean.class);
bean.doSomething();
}

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:app.properties")
public static class Config {

@Bean
public ClientBean clientBean () {
return new ClientBean();
}

@Bean
public static CustomEditorConfigurer customEditorConfigurer () {
CustomEditorConfigurer cec = new CustomEditorConfigurer();
cec.setPropertyEditorRegistrars(
new PropertyEditorRegistrar[]{
new MyCustomBeanRegistrar()});
return cec;
}
}

public static class ClientBean {
@Value("${theTradeDate}")
private Date tradeDate;

public void doSomething () {
System.out.printf("The trade date from prop file is %s%n", tradeDate);
}
}

public static class MyCustomBeanRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
@Override
public void registerCustomEditors (PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
dateFormatter.setLenient(false);
registry.registerCustomEditor(Date.class,
new CustomDateEditor(dateFormatter, true));
}
}
}

src/main/resources/app.properties:

theCurrency=PLN
thePrice=12,323.7654
theTradeDate=2016-9-14
