Since Spring 5, the DataBinder can use the parametrized constructor to populate the command object upon form submission, which is a great improvement.
It would be nice and handy if the DataBinder could also use the parametrized constructor on nested objects of the command object.
When using following class for the command object:
public class Line {
private final Point point1;
private final Point point2;
public Line(Point point1, Point point2) {
this.point1 = point1;
this.point2 = point2;
}
public Point getPoint1() {
return point1;
}
public Point getPoint2() {
return point2;
}
}which has following class for the nested object:
public class Point {
private final int x;
private final int y;
public Point(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public int getX() {
return x;
}
public int getY() {
return y;
}
}upon form submission an Exception occurs:
Invalid property 'point1' of bean class [be.vdab.entities.Line]: Could not instantiate property type [be.vdab.valueobjects.Point] to auto-grow nested property path; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: be.vdab.valueobjects.Point.\<init>()
