Class PathEditor

java.lang.Object

java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport

org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.PathEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyEditor

@UsesJava7
public class PathEditor
extends PropertyEditorSupport

Editor for java.nio.file.Path, to directly populate a Path property instead of using a String property as bridge.

Based on Paths.get(URI)'s resolution algorithm, checking registered NIO file system providers, including the default file system for "file:..." paths. Also supports Spring-style URL notation: any fully qualified standard URL and Spring's special "classpath:" pseudo-URL, as well as Spring's context-specific relative file paths.

Note that, in contrast to FileEditor, relative paths are only supported by Spring's resource abstraction here. Direct Paths.get resolution in a file system always has to go through the corresponding file system provider's scheme, i.e. "file" for the default file system.

Since:

4.3.2
