• Type: Bug

• Environment:

  Windows XP, Java 6

I have a small class that tests SwingBuilder.bind(). One textfield in the
GUI is bound to a model property of type Date so that a conversion is
needed from String to Date. The binding specifies a converter.

Unfortunately, when the GUI fires up, an exception is thrown saying this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to create
component for 'bind' reason:
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast
object '01.01.1970' with class 'java.lang.String' to class
'java.util.Date'

This message shows me that the converter has not been invoked.

Attached, I send the sample code and the stacktrace. In the
code, there is a section that works fine (commented out) and a section
that throws the exception (non-commented, active code). It seems as if the
full binding syntax does not work as good as the simplified syntax.
However, I need the full syntax because I really want to bind to a
FocusLost event, not to a property.
