Interface PropertyEditorRegistrar

All Known Implementing Classes:

ResourceEditorRegistrar

public interface PropertyEditorRegistrar

Interface for strategies that register custom property editors with a property editor registry.

This is particularly useful when you need to use the same set of property editors in several situations: write a corresponding registrar and reuse that in each case.

1.2.6

Method Summary

void	registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry)	Register custom PropertyEditors with the given PropertyEditorRegistry.

Method Details

registerCustomEditors

void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry)

Register custom PropertyEditors with the given PropertyEditorRegistry.

The passed-in registry will usually be a BeanWrapper or a DataBinder.

It is expected that implementations will create brand new PropertyEditors instances for each invocation of this method (since PropertyEditors are not threadsafe).

Parameters:

registry - the PropertyEditorRegistry to register the custom PropertyEditors with

overridesDefaultEditors

default boolean overridesDefaultEditors()

Indicate whether this registrar exclusively overrides default editors rather than registering custom editors, intended to be applied lazily.

This has an impact on registrar handling in a bean factory: see ConfigurableBeanFactory.addPropertyEditorRegistrar(PropertyEditorRegistrar).

Since:

6.2.3
