I'd rather add startup code to register a proper PropertyEditor with the JavaBeans framework. There's an extension point for this purpose (hivemind.Startup).
Once the PropertyEditor is defined, it should "just work". Better a solution for that, than to start introducing special cases into the code. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kurt R. Hoehn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 12:30:50 -0400 Subject: Smart Translator - Class type To: [email protected] 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) { â 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)); } } â } 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 -- Howard M.
