1 转换器Converter
Spring在如何正确绑定数据方面是杂乱无章的。Spring总是试图用默认的语言区域将日期输入绑定到java.util.Date。假如想让Spring使用不同的日期样式,就需要用一个Converter(转换器)或者Formatter(格式化)来协助Spring完成。
Converter和Formatter,这两者均可用于将一种对象类型转换成另一种对象类型。
Converter是通用元件,可以在应用程序的任意层中使用,而Formatter则是专门为Web层设计的。
Spring的Converter是可以将一种类型转换成另一种类型的一个对象。例如,用户输入的日期可能有许多种形式,如“December 25,2014”、“12/25/2014”和“2014-12-25”,这些都表示同一个日期。
默认情况下,Spring会期待用户输入的日期样式与当前语言区域的日期样式相同。例如,对于美国的用户而言,就是月/日格式。如果希望Spring在将输入的日期字符串绑定到Date时,使用不同的日期样式,则需要编写一个Converter,才能将字符串转换成日期。
下面用一个案例来介绍转换器的使用
2 Spring MVC中转换器的使用案例
2.1 程序的目录结构
2.2 domain
package app06a.domain;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Date;
public class Employee implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -908L;
private long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private Date birthDate;
private int salaryLevel;
public long getId() {return id;}
public void setId(long id) {this.id = id;}
public String getFirstName() {return firstName; }
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {this.firstName = firstName;}
public String getLastName() {return lastName;}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {this.lastName = lastName;}
public Date getBirthDate() {return birthDate;}
public void setBirthDate(Date birthDate) {this.birthDate = birthDate;}
public int getSalaryLevel() {return salaryLevel;}
public void setSalaryLevel(int salaryLevel) {this.salaryLevel = salaryLevel;}
}
2.3 Converter转换器类
为了创建Converter,必须编写一个实现org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter接口的Java类。这个接口的声明如下:Public interface Converter<S, T>
这里的S表示源类型,T表示目标类型。例如,为了创建一个可以将Long转换成Date的Converter,要像下面这样声明Conve rter类:public class MyConverter implements Convert<Long,Date>
StringToDateConverter.java
package app06a.converter;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter;
public class StringToDateConverter implements Converter<String, Date> {
private String datePattern;
public StringToDateConverter(String datePattern) {
this.datePattern = datePattern;
}
@Override
public Date convert(String s) {
try {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(datePattern);
dateFormat.setLenient(false);
return dateFormat.parse(s);
} catch (ParseException e) {
// the error message will be displayed when using <form:errors>
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"invalid date format. Please use this pattern\""
+ datePattern + "\"");
}
}
}
2.4 Controller类
EmployeeController
package app06a.controller;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.validation.FieldError;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import app06a.domain.Employee;
@org.springframework.stereotype.Controller
public class EmployeeController {
private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(EmployeeController.class);
@RequestMapping(value="employee_input")
public String inputEmployee(Model model) {
model.addAttribute(new Employee());
return "EmployeeForm";
}
@RequestMapping(value="employee_save")
public String saveEmployee(@ModelAttribute Employee employee, BindingResult bindingResult,Model model) {
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
FieldError fieldError = bindingResult.getFieldError();
logger.info("Code:" + fieldError.getCode()+", field:" + fieldError.getField());
return "EmployeeForm";
}
// save employee here
model.addAttribute("employee", employee);
return "EmployeeDetails";
}
}
2.5 Spring MVC配置文件
为了使用Spring MVC应用程序中定制的Converter,需要在Spring MVC配置文件中编写一个conversionService bean。
Bean的类名称必须为org. springframework.context. support. ConversionServiceFactoryBean。
这个bean必须包含一个converters属性,它将列出要在应用程序中使用的所有定制Converter。
例如,下面的bean声明是在注册了StringToDateConverter。随后,要给annotation-driven元素的conversion-service属性赋bean名称(本例中是conversionService),如下所示:
springmvc-config.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">

<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
<bean id="conversionService" class="org.springframework.context.support.ConversionServiceFactoryBean">
<property name="converters">
<list>
<bean class="app06a.converter.StringToDateConverter">

</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
