Method from org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistry Summary:
findCustomEditor, registerCustomEditor, registerCustomEditor

Method from org.springframework.beans.PropertyEditorRegistry Detail:
public PropertyEditor findCustomEditor(Class requiredType, String propertyPath) Find a custom property editor for the given type and property.
public void registerCustomEditor(Class requiredType, PropertyEditor propertyEditor) Register the given custom property editor for all properties of the given type.
public void registerCustomEditor(Class requiredType, String propertyPath, PropertyEditor propertyEditor) Register the given custom property editor for the given type and property, or for all properties of the given type. If the property path denotes an array or Collection property, the editor will get applied either to the array/Collection itself (the PropertyEditor has to create an array or Collection value) or to each element (the `PropertyEditor` has to create the element type), depending on the specified required type. Note: Only one single registered custom editor per property path is supported. In the case of a Collection/array, do not register an editor for both the Collection/array and each element on the same property. For example, if you wanted to register an editor for "items[n].quantity" (for all values n), you would use "items.quantity" as the value of the 'propertyPath' argument to this method.
