Would that be ApplicationFormController's initBinder method?
This is my setAsText method:
public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException
{
Customer obj;
if (text == null || text.length() == 0) {
setValue(null);
} else {
obj = new Customer();
obj.setId(Long.parseLong(text));
setValue(obj);
}
}
