FileEditor (Spring Framework 5.2.12.RELEASE API)

java.lang.Object
- java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport
- - org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.FileEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:
PropertyEditor
```
public class FileEditor
extends PropertyEditorSupport
```
Editor for java.io.File, to directly populate a File property from a Spring resource location.
Supports Spring-style URL notation: any fully qualified standard URL ("file:", "http:", etc) and Spring's special "classpath:" pseudo-URL.
NOTE: The behavior of this editor has changed in Spring 2.0. Previously, it created a File instance directly from a filename. As of Spring 2.0, it takes a standard Spring resource location as input; this is consistent with URLEditor and InputStreamEditor now.
NOTE: In Spring 2.5 the following modification was made. If a file name is specified without a URL prefix or without an absolute path then we try to locate the file using standard ResourceLoader semantics. If the file was not found, then a File instance is created assuming the file name refers to a relative file location.
