      org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.ClassEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyEditor

public class ClassEditor
extends PropertyEditorSupport

Editor for java.lang.Class, to directly populate a Class property instead of using a String class name property as bridge.

Also supports "java.lang.String[]"-style array class names, in contrast to the standard Class.forName method. Delegates to ClassUtils for actual class name resolution.
