I am migrating from Spring 3.2.4 to Spring 4.0.6 and I was unable to configure CustomEditorConfigurer in a newer version
Below was the configuration for Spring 3.2.4 in applicationContext.xml
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
<property name="customEditors">
<map>
<entry key="java.util.Date">
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor">
<constructor-arg index="0">
<bean class="java.text.SimpleDateFormat">
<constructor-arg value="MM/dd/yyyy" />
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg index="1" value="true" />
</bean>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
And I tried to use the same configuration in Spring 4.0.6, after which I became below the error
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet | Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer#0' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/config/core/admin-servlet.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: Failed to convert property value of type 'java.util.LinkedHashMap' to required type 'java.util.Map' for property 'customEditors'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor] to required type [java.lang.Class] for property 'customEditors[java.util.Date]': PropertyEditor [org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.ClassEditor] returned inappropriate value of type [org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.CustomDateEditor]

I compared the class CustomEditorConfigurerin Spring 3.2.4 and Spring 4.0.6 and noticed that there was a type change customEditors. Spring 4.0.6 customEditorstype Map<Class<?>, Class<? extends PropertyEditor>> customEditors;compared to Spring 3.2.4Map<String, ?> customEditors;
Can someone help me configure it for Spring 4.0.6
