An example would be:
package org.joda.time;
public class PeriodPropertyEditor extends PropertyEditorSupport {
public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException {
Period period = new Period(text);
setValue(period);
}
}
Pretty basic. DateTime is equally easy, although Duration poses a
slight problem, since it can only accept Strings of the form PTxMyS,
with no support for hours or days. But that's no big deal. You may
want to use more sophisticated string-to-type conversions in some cases.
In terms of Spring usage, you would be able to have a bean with a
property of a Joda-Time type, which spring would coerce via the custom
editor
public class MyBean
void setPeriod(Period p) {
...
}
}
<beans>
<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
<property name="customEditors">
<map>
<entry key="org.joda.time.Period">
<bean class="org.joda.time.PeriodPropertyEditor"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
<bean class="MyBean">
<property name="period" value="PT60S"/>
</bean>
</beans>
This could be a candidate fore the joda-time contrib section, but given
that it has no non-JRE dependencies, it could be rolled into the main
joda-time distro. The property editor framework also applies to
AWT/Spring frameworks.
