Hello,
I'm trying to create a multiaction web controller using Spring annotations. This controller will be responsible for adding and removing user profiles and preparing reference data for the jsp page.
@Controller
public class ManageProfilesController {
@InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.registerCustomEditor(UserAccount.class,"account", new UserAccountPropertyEditor(userManager));
binder.registerCustomEditor(Profile.class, "profile", new ProfilePropertyEditor(profileManager));
logger.info("Editors registered");
}
@RequestMapping("remove")
public void up( @RequestParam("account") UserAccount account,
@RequestParam("profile") Profile profile) {
...
}
@RequestMapping("")
public ModelAndView defaultView(@RequestParam("account") UserAccount account) {
logger.info("Default view handling");
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
logger.info(account.getLogin());
mav.addObject("account", account);
mav.addObject("profiles", profileManager.getProfiles());
mav.setViewName(view);
return mav;
}
...
}
Here is the part of my webContext.xml file:
<context:component-scan base-package="
ru.mirea.rea.webapp.controllers" />
<context:annotation-config/>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<value>
...
/home/users/manageProfiles=users.manageProfilesController
</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="users.manageProfilesController" class="
ru.mirea.rea.webapp.controllers.users.ManageProfilesController">
<property name="view" value="home\users\manageProfiles"/>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter" />
However, when i open the mapped url, i get exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [ru.mirea.rea.model.UserAccount]: no matching editors or conversion strategy found
I use spring 2.5.6 and plan to move to the Spring 3.0 in some not very distant future. However, according to this JIRA https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-4182 it should be possible already in spring 2.5.1.
The debug shows that the InitBinder method is correctly called.
What am i doing wrong?
