Property editor for Maps, converting any source Map to a given target Map type.

public class CustomMapEditor extends PropertyEditorSupport { @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") private final Class<? extends Map> mapType; private final boolean nullAsEmptyMap;
Create a new CustomMapEditor for the given target type, keeping an incoming null as-is.
Params:
  • mapType – the target type, which needs to be a sub-interface of Map or a concrete Map class
See Also:
/** * Create a new CustomMapEditor for the given target type, * keeping an incoming {@code null} as-is. * @param mapType the target type, which needs to be a * sub-interface of Map or a concrete Map class * @see java.util.Map * @see java.util.HashMap * @see java.util.TreeMap * @see java.util.LinkedHashMap */
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") public CustomMapEditor(Class<? extends Map> mapType) { this(mapType, false); }
Create a new CustomMapEditor for the given target type.

If the incoming value is of the given type, it will be used as-is. If it is a different Map type or an array, it will be converted to a default implementation of the given Map type. If the value is anything else, a target Map with that single value will be created.

The default Map implementations are: TreeMap for SortedMap, and LinkedHashMap for Map.

Params:
  • mapType – the target type, which needs to be a sub-interface of Map or a concrete Map class
  • nullAsEmptyMap – ap whether to convert an incoming null value to an empty Map (of the appropriate type)

Create a Map of the given type, with the given initial capacity (if supported by the Map type).
Params:
  • mapType – a sub-interface of Map
  • initialCapacity – the initial capacity
Returns:the new Map instance

Return whether to always create a new Map, even if the type of the passed-in Map already matches.

Default is "false"; can be overridden to enforce creation of a new Map, for example to convert elements in any case.

Hook to convert each encountered Map key. The default implementation simply returns the passed-in key as-is.

Can be overridden to perform conversion of certain keys, for example from String to Integer.

Only called if actually creating a new Map! This is by default not the case if the type of the passed-in Map already matches. Override alwaysCreateNewMap() to enforce creating a new Map in every case.

Params:
  • key – the source key
See Also:
Returns:the key to be used in the target Map
