Description David Strupl 2002-01-29 13:05:57 UTC 
Currently

java.beans.PropertyEditorManager.findEditor(type)

is used to find property editor for given property. The implementation of this
method is not flexible enough for our needs. 

Requirements:
1. from module be able to add mapping declaratively (in XML)
2. customize the mappings as a user
3. be able to return more results (Collection) for a type.
4. fallback to the original findEditor method in case no editor is found using
the alternative approach (backward compatibility)

Solution: use XML layer to store the mappings
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-06-13 04:54:28 UTC 
It seems that there already is a solution for this suggested as part
of issue 22422 together with a patch that just needs to be applied. I
am closing this in favor of that issue.
