Spring How to use custom type parameter with BeanWrapper.

When I define a bean class with a custom type property, how to use BeanWrapper to fill the value.

public class BetweentValue<T>{
     private T min;
     private T max;
// setter and getter
}

pbulic class Bean{
     private BetweenValue<LocalDateTime> betweemValue;
// setter and getter
}


public void Main{
     public static void main(String[] args){
         Bean bean = new Bean();
         final BeanWrapperImpl beanWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(bean);
        beanWrapper.setAutoGrowNestedPaths(true);
        beanWrapper.setPropertyValue("betweenValue.min","2023-04-12 00:00:00");
        System.out.println(bean.betweenValue.min);
    }
}

You can set up ConversionService for BeanWrapperImpl to handle type conversions

public void Main{
     public static void main(String[] args){
         Bean bean = new Bean();
         final BeanWrapperImpl beanWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(bean);
        beanWrapper.setConversionService(new DefaultFormattingConversionService()); // It can also be obtained from the container
        beanWrapper.setAutoGrowNestedPaths(true);
        beanWrapper.setPropertyValue("betweenValue.min","2023-04-12 00:00:00");
        System.out.println(bean.betweenValue.min);
    }
}

This way can set the value of '2023-04-12 00:00:00' into the betweenValue.min property, but the value type is String, I wanted it is a LocalDateTime. @haitaoss

If possible, you can avoid using generics and change to specific types, and then add custom conversion rules to solve this problem

public class BetweentValue {
    private LocalDateTime min;
}

 DefaultFormattingConversionService conversionService = new DefaultFormattingConversionService();
        conversionService.addConverter(new Converter<String, LocalDateTime>() {
            @Override
            public LocalDateTime convert(String source) {
                return LocalDateTime.parse(source,DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"));
            }
        });
