Modifying bindings

This issue is very easy to resolve in Spring-RCP, you simply put the follwong bean definition into the context:

<bean id="binderSelectionStrategy"
    class="org.springframework.richclient.form.binding.swing.SwingBinderSelectionStrategy">
    <property name="bindersForPropertyTypes">
        <map>
            <entry>
                <key><value type="java.lang.Class">com.company.app.YourClass</value></key>
                <bean class="com.company.app.YourCustomBinder" />
            </entry>
        </map>
    </property>
</bean>

For each class that needs a modified binding, just add an entry in this map, they will get picked up automagically.

<entry>
	<key><value type="java.lang.Class">java.lang.Enum</value></key>
	<bean class="org.springframework.richclient.form.binding.swing.TigerEnumComboBoxBinder" />
</entry>

<bean id="binderSelectionStrategy" class="org.springframework.richclient.form.binding.swing.SwingBinderSelectionStrategy">
    <property name="bindersForPropertyNames">
        <list>
            <props>
                <prop key="objectClass">com.company.app.model.Person</prop>
                <prop key="propertyName">gender</prop>
                <prop key="binderRef">tigerBinder</prop>
            </props>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
 
<bean id="tigerBinder" class="org.springframework.richclient.form.binding.swing.TigerEnumComboBoxBinder"/>

<entry>
	<key><value type="java.lang.Class">java.util.Date</value></key>
	<bean class="org.springframework.richclient.form.binding.swing.NachoCalendarDateFieldBinder" />
</entry>

To use this component, an additional library is needed, just add the following definition to the pom.xml:

<dependency>
	<groupId>net.sf.nachocalendar</groupId>
	<artifactId>nachocalendar</artifactId>
</dependency>
