spring3mvc如何把checkbox的值绑定到model对象的int数据类型

model对象：User.java:

public class User {
	private int id;
	private String name;
	//0:男，1:女，页面上表现为radiobutton
	private int gender;
	private int age;
	//0:没毕业，1：已经毕业，页面上表现为checkbox
	private int graduted;
	//0:没结婚，1：已经结婚，页面上表现为checkbox
	private int married;
}

form表单：
<form:form id="user" modelAttribute="user" action="save.do">
<table>
 <tr><td>用户名：</td><td><form:input path="name" /></td></tr>
 <tr><td>性别：</td><td>男:<form:radiobutton path="gender" value="0"/>
          女:<form:radiobutton path="gender" value="1"/></td>
 </tr>
 <tr><td>年龄：</td><td><form:input path="age" /></td></tr>
 <!-- Attribute 'value' is required when binding to non-boolean values -->
 <tr><td>其他：</td><td>毕业：<form:checkbox path="graduted" value="1"/>婚否：<form:checkbox path="married" value="1"/></td>
 </tr>
 <tr><td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="提交"></td></tr>
</table> 
</form:form>

UserController：
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/user")
public class UserController{
 private static class IntEditor extends CustomNumberEditor{
  public IntEditor(){
   super(Integer.class,true);
  }
  public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException { 
   if (text==null || text.trim().equals("")) { 
      // Treat empty String as null value. 
      setValue(0); 
   } else { 
      // Use default valueOf methods for parsing text. 
      setValue(Integer.parseInt(text)); 
   } 
  }
 }
 @InitBinder
 public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder){
  binder.registerCustomEditor(int.class, null, new IntEditor());
 }
 @RequestMapping(value="/add")
 public ModelAndView add(HttpServletRequest request){
  ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("useradd");
  //Neither BindingResult nor plain target object for bean name 'user' available as request attribute
  mav.addObject("user", new User());
  return mav;
 }
 @RequestMapping(value="/save")
 public ModelAndView save(HttpServletRequest request,
   @ModelAttribute("user") User user){
  ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("redirect:list.do");
  System.out.println(user);
  return mav;
 }
}

浏览器输入：http://localhost:8080/sp3form/user/add.do，会弹出输入页面，如果，两个checkbox都不选中，然后，提交的时候，会报错：

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.validation.BindException: org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 2 errors

 org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:863)

具体的来说就是：null无法转化成int。

 

然后，上网一通google，基本上是两种解决办法：
（1）使用Integer，而不是int，null不能转化成int，但是可以转化成为Integer。这么做转化虽然没问题，但是，如果把model对象插入到数据库的时候还得把null改成0，麻烦！
（2）添加一个InitBinder，重写setAsText()方法，如同上面的代码那样，可仍然报错！一开始怀疑是setAsText方法没被调用，但是debug的时候发现，有两个值确实调用了setAsText，但是checkbox却并没有调用。也就是说，在setAsText之前就已经出错了！

大家都是你抄我来我抄你，没有一个能解决问题，所谓靠墙墙倒，靠人人跑，本来想偷点懒的，关键时候还得靠自己啊！

然后，就开始debug，看看源码里面是如何处理的。最开始找到的解决办法是重写WebDataBinder里面的getEmptyValue方法：

protected Object getEmptyValue(String field, Class fieldType) {
	if (fieldType != null && boolean.class.equals(fieldType) || Boolean.class.equals(fieldType)) {
		// Special handling of boolean property.
		return Boolean.FALSE;
	}
	else if (fieldType != null && fieldType.isArray()) {
		// Special handling of array property.
		return Array.newInstance(fieldType.getComponentType(), 0);
	}else if(fieldType == int.class || fieldType == long.class){
		return 0;
	}
	else {
		// Default value: try null.
		return null;
	}
}

这样从源头上，就把问题给解决了，但是，这还要修改spring的源代码，貌似不太理想。

继续debug：
TypeConverterDelegate:

/**
 * Convert the given text value using the given property editor.
 * @param oldValue the previous value, if available (may be <code>null</code>)
 * @param newTextValue the proposed text value
 * @param editor the PropertyEditor to use
 * @return the converted value
 */
protected Object doConvertTextValue(Object oldValue, String newTextValue, PropertyEditor editor) {
 try {
  editor.setValue(oldValue);
 }
 catch (Exception ex) {
  if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
   logger.debug("PropertyEditor [" + editor.getClass().getName() + "] does not support setValue call", ex);
  }
  // Swallow and proceed.
 }
 editor.setAsText(newTextValue);
 return editor.getValue();
}

到这里才发现，spring首先调用的是自定义的editor的setValue然后才调用的setAsText，因此：

public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException { 
 if (text==null || text.trim().equals("")) { 
    // Treat empty String as null value. 
    setValue(0); 
 } else { 
    // Use default valueOf methods for parsing text. 
    setValue(Integer.parseInt(text)); 
 } 
}

这种方式根本就是行不通的！
既然找到了原因，那么，也就找到了解决办法，我们需要重写setValue，而不是setAsText：

private static class IntEditor extends CustomNumberEditor{
 public IntEditor(){
  super(Integer.class,true);
 }
 @Override
 public void setValue(Object value) {
  if(value == null){
   super.setValue(0);
  }else{
   super.setValue(value);
  }
 }
}
@InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder){
 binder.registerCustomEditor(int.class, "graduted", new IntEditor());
 binder.registerCustomEditor(int.class, "married", new IntEditor());
}

 

世界从此清净了！
