apache mina Custom editor configurer throws exception in spring 4

Question

I was using Spring 3 with Apache Mina, and now I am using Spring 4 and trying to integrate Apache Mina. When I compile, I get an exception in CustomEditorConfigurer. Here is my bean:

<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
        <property name="customEditors">
            <map>
                <entry key="java.net.SocketAddress">
                    <bean class="org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor" />
                </entry>
            </map>
        </property>
    </bean>

As said, it throws the following error:

Cannot convert value of type [org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor] to required type [java.lang.Class] for property 'customEditors[java.net.SocketAddress]': PropertyEditor [org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.ClassEditor] returned inappropriate value of type [org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor]

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert value of type [org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor] to required type [java.lang.Class] for property 'customEditors[java.net.SocketAddress]': PropertyEditor [org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.ClassEditor] returned inappropriate value of type [org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor]

Is the problem related with the newer version of Spring?

Based on this link it depends on the version of Spring. Changes may vary with different version of Spring.

solved the issue modifying the list.

from:

<Entry Key = "java.net.SocketAddress" >  
      <Bean  class = "org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor"  />  
 </ Entry>  

to:

<Entry Key = "java.net.SocketAddress" value = "org.apache.mina.integration.beans.InetSocketAddressEditor" />
