How to create a property editor for options tag ?

[noon]

Spring reference manual has a great chapter of this and I'm sure you can find some great examples from the net.

The general idea:

Let your custom property editor extend PropertyEditorSupport.
Implement the both methods getAsText() and setAsText(String):

In getAsText() call getValue() first, which returns the actual object. Return a string representation of this object.
In setAsText(String) the parameter is a string representation of your object. Convert it back to an object. Call setValue(Object) with that object as parameter.

After property editor is created how we can bind it ?

Ihave in mind speific property editor, namely StringArrayPropertyEditor. I opened a "StringArrayPropertyEditor usage " thread a few days ago, but nobody has responded.

May be i can get clarification on that in this thread ?
