org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors
Class CustomNumberEditor

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport
      extended by org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomNumberEditor
All Implemented Interfaces:
PropertyEditor

public class CustomNumberEditor
extends PropertyEditorSupport

Property editor for any Number subclass like Integer, Long, Float, Double. Can use a given NumberFormat for (locale-specific) parsing and rendering, or alternatively the default valueOf respectively toString methods.

This is not meant to be used as system PropertyEditor but rather as locale-specific number editor within custom controller code, to parse user-entered number strings into Number properties of beans, and render them in the UI form.

In web MVC code, this editor will typically be registered with binder.registerCustomEditor calls in an implementation of BaseCommandController's initBinder method.

Constructor Detail

CustomNumberEditor

public CustomNumberEditor(Class numberClass,
                          boolean allowEmpty)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException
Create a new CustomNumberEditor instance, using the default valueOf methods for parsing and toString methods for rendering.

The "allowEmpty" parameter states if an empty String should be allowed for parsing, i.e. get interpreted as null value. Else, an IllegalArgumentException gets thrown in that case.

Parameters:
numberClass - Number subclass to generate
allowEmpty - if empty strings should be allowed
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid numberClass has been specified

CustomNumberEditor

public CustomNumberEditor(Class numberClass,
                          NumberFormat numberFormat,
                          boolean allowEmpty)
                   throws IllegalArgumentException
Create a new CustomNumberEditor instance, using the given NumberFormat for parsing and rendering.

The allowEmpty parameter states if an empty String should be allowed for parsing, i.e. get interpreted as null value. Else, an IllegalArgumentException gets thrown in that case.

Parameters:
numberClass - Number subclass to generate
numberFormat - NumberFormat to use for parsing and rendering
allowEmpty - if empty strings should be allowed
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid numberClass has been specified
