Problem with beans [message #128273]

Hello

i'm having trouble editing beans properties using VE.
The bean is located in the same package as the container class.
My PropertyEditor looks like this:

//---------------------------------------------------------- ---------
public class SegmentDigitEditor extends
java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport {

private Integer digit = 0;

public Object getValue(){
return new Integer(this.digit);
}

public void setValue(Object o){
if(o instanceof Integer)
this.digit= (Integer)o;
else
this.digit = 0;
firePropertyChange();
}

public String getAsText(){
return this.digit.toString();
}

public void setAsText(String s){
this.digit = new Integer(Integer.parseInt(s));
firePropertyChange();
}
}
//---------------------------------------------------------- -----------

The corresponding property is of type Integer and the class has
getter-/setter methods:

public Integer getDigit() { return digit; }
public void setDigit(Integer digit){ this.digit = digit; }

However, if I try to change the property to let's say Integer(5),
i get:

segmentDigit.setDigit(???);

in the source code, instead of
segmentDigit.setDigit(new Integer(5));
what might i have done wrong?

Thanks in advance

Alex

You need to also have the getJavaInitializationString() method that
returns the exact initialization code to use. Otherwise the VE has no
idea how to generate it in the code.

Thanks a lot.
I've completely overlooked that.
