Package org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors

Class ReaderEditor

java.lang.Object

java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport

org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.ReaderEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyEditor

public class ReaderEditor
extends PropertyEditorSupport

One-way PropertyEditor which can convert from a text String to a java.io.Reader, interpreting the given String as a Spring resource location (e.g. a URL String).

Supports Spring-style URL notation: any fully qualified standard URL ("file:", "http:", etc.) and Spring's special "classpath:" pseudo-URL.

Note that such readers usually do not get closed by Spring itself!

4.2
