PropertyEditor
implementation for standard JDK
ResourceBundles
.
Only supports conversion from a String, but not to a String.
Find below some examples of using this class in a (properly configured)
Spring container using XML-based metadata:
<bean id="errorDialog" class="...">
<!--
the 'messages' property is of type java.util.ResourceBundle.
the 'DialogMessages.properties' file exists at the root of the CLASSPATH
-->
<property name="messages" value="DialogMessages"/>
</bean>
<bean id="errorDialog" class="...">
<!--
the 'DialogMessages.properties' file exists in the 'com/messages' package
-->
<property name="messages" value="com/messages/DialogMessages"/>
</bean>
A 'properly configured' Spring container
might contain a CustomEditorConfigurer
definition such that the conversion can be effected transparently:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
<property name="customEditors">
<map>
<entry key="java.util.ResourceBundle">
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.ResourceBundleEditor"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
Please note that this PropertyEditor
is not
registered by default with any of the Spring infrastructure.
Thanks to David Leal Valmana for the suggestion and initial prototype.
