Spring MVC Generics Object Binding/Type Conversion












0














I'm looking for a way to wrap my models or DTOs with a generic class to add a 'selected' Boolean property and be able to bind the object in my POST method controller.



Like this:



public class RowForm<T> implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private T model;
private Boolean selected=false;

public RowForm() {
super();
}

public RowForm(T model) {
super();
this.model = model;
}

public T getModel() {
return model;
}

public void setModel(T model) {
this.model = model;
}

public Boolean getSelected() {
return selected;
}

public void setSelected(Boolean selected) {
this.selected = selected;
}

}


public class ProductsForm implements Serializable{

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private RowForm<Product> row;

//...other stuff and getters/setters
}


and use it like this:



    @PostMapping ("/postProduct")
public String POSTproduct(Model model, @ModelAttribute ProductsForm pf)
{
....
}


But I'm stuck with the conversion...



When I call pf.getRow() it returns a plain Object, not a RowForm<Product>.



How can I implement a ConversionService/PropertyEditor to bind my posted data to my extended generic object?

          Why not use a abstract base class with the selected property, and extend it for your DTOs?
