如何在spring 3 / webflow 2中注册自定义转换服务？

Question

I've been trying to follow this example and using the reference to guide me, but I'm having no luck.

I've defined a converter:

import org.springframework.binding.convert.converters.StringToObject;

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;

public class StringToDateTwoWayConverter  extends StringToObject {
    private DateFormat format = null;

    public StringToDateTwoWayConverter () {
        super(StringToDateTwoWayConverter.class);
        format = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");

    }

    @Override
    protected Object toObject(String string, Class targetClass) throws Exception {
        Date date = null;
        try {
            date = format.parse(string);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
        return date;
    }

    @Override
    protected String toString(Object object) throws Exception {
        Date date = (Date) object;
        return format.format(date);
    }
}

and a conversionService:

import org.springframework.binding.convert.service.DefaultConversionService;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component("conversionService")
public class ApplicationConversionService extends DefaultConversionService
{
    @Override
    protected void addDefaultConverters() {
        super.addDefaultConverters();        
        this.addConverter(new StringToDateTwoWayConverter());
        this.addConverter("shortDate", new StringToDateTwoWayConverter());

    }
}

and configured it:

<mvc:annotation-driven conversion-service="conversionService" />
<webflow:flow-builder-services id="flowBuilderServices" conversion-service="conversionService" .../>

(explicit instantiation shows the same error)

However, upon startup, I'm greeted with this exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor argument with index 0 of type [org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService]: Could not convert constructor argument value of type [com.yadayada.converter.ApplicationConversionService] to required type [org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService]: Failed to convert value of type 'com.yadayada.converter.ApplicationConversionService' to required type 'org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [com.yadayada.converter.ApplicationConversionService] to required type [org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService]: no matching editors or conversion strategy found

    at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveInnerBean(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:270)

I'm thoroughly puzzled why its not working. The conversion service implements ConversionService through its base class, so I don't see the problem. Any insight much appreciated!

In response to an answer below, I tried changing the service to implement the other Conversion service:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService;

import org.springframework.format.support.FormattingConversionService;

@Component ("conversionService")
public class ApplicationConversionService extends FormattingConversionService implements  org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService
{
    public ApplicationConversionService() {
        this.addConverter(new StringToDateConverter2());

}
}

But now I fail the other way:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [com.yadayada.converter.ApplicationConversionService] to required type [org.springframework.binding.convert.ConversionService] for property 'conversionService': no matching editors or conversion strategy found

Answer 1

Spring MVC and Spring Webflow uses different hierarchies of type converters. So, <mvc:annotation-driven ...> requires org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService , but <webflow:flow-builder-services ...> requires org.springframework.binding.convert.ConversionService .

在上面的代码中，您应该编写super(Date.class)而不是super(StringToDateTwoWayConverter.class) 。
