By default, there is broken conversion String -> ContextResource [SPR-8383]

[spring-projects-issues]

Gerr Magnus Mes opened SPR-8383 and commented

For example:

public class SomeBean {
private ContextResource cache;

@Required
public void setCache(ContextResource cache) {
    this.cache = cache;
}

}
...

<bean id="someBean" class="org.miramax.domain.movies.someBean">
<property name="cache" value="/WEB-INF/tmp"/>
</bean>

...

org.springframework.beans.ConversionNotSupportedException: Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'org.springframework.core.io.ContextResource'

Spring 2.x has no problem with conversion.

Juergen, I assigned to you since it was reported against 3.0.5 and doesn't seem to involve the ConversionService. Looks like something to look into for the 3.0.6 work.
