Grails custom binding of Edit control with Calendar class

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to bind an Edit control with the Calendar object. I referred to the link below and decided to use custom binding.

http://grails.1312388.n4.nabble.com/Grails-1-1-1-change-in-binding-date-properties-td1323105.html#a1323105

However the link explains how to bind with Date class as there's a ready CustomDateEditor class available.

I implemented a CalendarEditor class of my own:

class CalendarEditor extends CustomDateEditor {

    public CalendarEditor(DateFormat format, boolean canBeEmpty) {
      super(format, canBeEmpty)
    }

    public void setAsText(String text) {
      super.setAsText(text)
      def value = this.value
      if (value instanceof Date) {
        Calendar cal = Calendar.instance
        cal.time = value this.value = cal
      }
    }

    public String getAsText() {
      def value = this.value
      if (value instanceof Calendar) {
        this.value = value.time
      }
      return super.getAsText()
    }
}

Then as the above posts mention, implemented CustomPropertyEditorRegistrar

public class CustomPropertyEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
  public void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
      registry.registerCustomEditor(Calendar.class, new CalendarEditor(new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy"), true));
  }
}

Also declared both CustomPropertyEditorRegistrar and CustomDateEditor in grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovy file.

I though still get an error saying, "Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.util.Calendar] for property dateOfBirth"

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
