Description
Keith Donald opened SPR-6179 and commented
Say I'm binding a String to a int (primitive). If the source String property is null, the value to bind to the target will also be null. Unfortunately, null cannot be set as a value for a primitive and the result is an IllegalArgumentException. For conversions that result in null, the GenericConversionService should see if the target type is a primitive; if so the value returned should be the equivalent of null for that primitive (0 for ints,longs, etc, false for boolean).
See example stack trace of this occurring and how cryptic it is at present:
map String age (value == null) -> int age (value == "" results in the same with a DefaultConversionService)
