public interface PropertyEditorRegistry {

Register the given custom property editor for all properties of the given type.

Parameters:
requiredType the type of the property
propertyEditor the editor to register
	void registerCustomEditor(Class requiredTypePropertyEditor propertyEditor);

Register the given custom property editor for the given type and property, or for all properties of the given type.

If the property path denotes an array or Collection property, the editor will get applied either to the array/Collection itself (the java.beans.PropertyEditor has to create an array or Collection value) or to each element (the PropertyEditor has to create the element type), depending on the specified required type.

Note: Only one single registered custom editor per property path is supported. In the case of a Collection/array, do not register an editor for both the Collection/array and each element on the same property.

For example, if you wanted to register an editor for "items[n].quantity" (for all values n), you would use "items.quantity" as the value of the 'propertyPath' argument to this method.

Parameters:
requiredType the type of the property. This may be null if a property is given but should be specified in any case, in particular in case of a Collection - making clear whether the editor is supposed to apply to the entire Collection itself or to each of its entries. So as a general rule: Do not specify null here in case of a Collection/array!
propertyPath the path of the property (name or nested path), or null if registering an editor for all properties of the given type
propertyEditor editor to register
	void registerCustomEditor(Class requiredTypeString propertyPathPropertyEditor propertyEditor);

Find a custom property editor for the given type and property.

Parameters:
requiredType the type of the property (can be null if a property is given but should be specified in any case for consistency checking)
propertyPath the path of the property (name or nested path), or null if looking for an editor for all properties of the given type
Returns:
the registered editor, or null if none
	PropertyEditor findCustomEditor(Class requiredTypeString propertyPath);
