    copied!<p><br> I have a following enum type:</p> <pre><code>public enum SearchLocationTypes {REGISTRATION, WORKPLACE} </code></pre> <p>I have created both: converter and formatter for this enum + formatter annotation factory (just in case).</p> <p>Formatter:</p> <pre><code>public class SearchLocationTypesFormatter implements Formatter&lt;SearchLocationTypes&gt; { @Override public String print(SearchLocationTypes type, Locale locale) { String strType = ""; switch(type) { case REGISTRATION: strType = "rg"; break; case WORKPLACE: strType = "wp"; break; } return strType; } @Override public SearchLocationTypes parse(String strType, Locale locale) throws ParseException { if(strType.equals("rg")) return SearchLocationTypes.REGISTRATION; if(strType.equals("wp")) return SearchLocationTypes.WORKPLACE; else throw new IllegalArgumentException(); } } </code></pre> <p>Factory:</p> <pre><code>public class SearchLocationTypesAnnotationFormatterFactory implements AnnotationFormatterFactory&lt;SearchLocationTypesFormat&gt; { @Override public Set&lt;Class&lt;?&gt;&gt; getFieldTypes() { return new HashSet&lt;Class&lt;?&gt;&gt;(Arrays.asList(new Class&lt;?&gt;[] {SearchLocationTypes.class})); } @Override public Printer&lt;?&gt; getPrinter(SearchLocationTypesFormat a, Class&lt;?&gt; type) { return new SearchLocationTypesFormatter(); } @Override public Parser&lt;?&gt; getParser(SearchLocationTypesFormat a, Class&lt;?&gt; type) { return new SearchLocationTypesFormatter(); } } </code></pre> <p>Annotation:</p> <pre><code>@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER}) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) public @interface SearchLocationTypesFormat {} </code></pre> <p>Converter:</p> <pre><code>public class SearchLocationTypesConverter implements Converter&lt;SearchLocationTypes, String&gt; { @Override public String convert(SearchLocationTypes type) { String strType = ""; switch(type) { case REGISTRATION: strType = "rg"; break; case WORKPLACE: strType = "wp"; break; } return strType; } } </code></pre> <p>part of servlet.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;mvc:annotation-driven conversion-service="conversionService" /&gt; &lt;bean id="conversionService" class="org.springframework.format.support.FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean"&gt; &lt;property name="converters"&gt; &lt;set&gt; &lt;bean class="ru.riado.web.format.SearchLocationTypesConverter" /&gt; &lt;/set&gt; &lt;/property&gt; &lt;property name="formatters"&gt; &lt;set&gt; &lt;bean class="ru.riado.web.format.SearchLocationTypesAnnotationFormatterFactory" /&gt; &lt;bean class="ru.riado.web.format.SearchSortTypesFormatter" /&gt; &lt;/set&gt; &lt;/property&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; </code></pre> <p>When i invoke the following code from the JSP everything works just as expected. <br>Example: Let's say i have a bean "form" with property "locType" that is set to 'REGISTRATION'.</p> <pre><code>public class Form { @SearchLocationTypesFormat private SearchLocationTypes locType; // setters and getters } </code></pre> <p>Now, i'm using the following code and its output is "rg":</p> <pre><code>&lt;s:eval expression="form.locType"&gt; </code></pre> <p>But spring form doesn't convert it's value to "rg". Instead of this it sets the value to "REGISTRATION", just as if it is using default converter. I tried to turn the default conversion off, but that didn't help.</p> <p>Could anyone please tell me what i'm missing here?</p>
