Improve Error Message when a PropertyEditor doesn't return the correct type [SPR-4874]

[spring-projects-issues]

Scott Battaglia opened SPR-4874 and commented

This is a minor point, but I had a bug in my PropertyEditor due to some code refactoring such that the PropertyEditor was named correctly but was returning the wrong type. At the IOC level when it went to resolve the ProxyList class, it found the ProxyListEditor correctly but then it failed with the error message found here:

http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?t=55001

Turns out that I made a mistake (yes, rather dumb of me) but the error message didn't lead me to my problem. It kept telling me I couldn't find the property editor when it really could, it just didn't get the value it wanted.

Thanks for pointing this out! I've revised this for Spring 2.5.6.
