Smart Translator - Class type

[Kurt R. Hoehn]

Hello,       The interface that I’m implementing has 2 getter methods that return type “Class” and it blows up every time on the getXXXX method calls.  So I did some digging around with the Smart Translator and there is no editor for type Class which is by design.   Is there a reason for the Smart Translator not supporting other java fundamental types (i.e. Class)?     I modified the  SmartTranslator.java  translate method  and it seemed to work and it passed all Unit Tests.   public Object translate(Module contributingModule, Class propertyType, String inputValue) { …     if (e == null)   {     if( propertyType.getName().equals("java.lang.Class") )     {       ClassResolver resolver = contributingModule.getClassResolver();       return resolver.findClass(inputValue);     }     else     {         throw new AplicationRuntimeException(RulesMessages.noPropertyEditor(propertyType));     }   }   … }   My hivemodule.sdl         service-point ( id=LockingConfiguration                       interface=org.apache.ojb.odmg.locking.LockingConfiguration)       {             invoke-factory( service-id=hivemind.BuilderFactory )             {                   construct (class=com.etranscor.hivemind.ojb.configuration.LockingConfigurationImpl)                   {                       set ( property=lockManagerClass value=${ojb.lockmanager.class} )                          set ( property=lockMapClass     value=${ojb.lockmap.class} )                   }                       }       }         contribution (configuration-id=hivemind.FactoryDefaults)       {             default (symbol=ojb.lockmanager.class  value=org.apache.ojb.odmg.locking.LockManagerDefaultImpl)             default (symbol=ojb.lockmap.class      value=org.apache.ojb.odmg.locking.InMemoryLockMapImpl)       }   -kurt h
