在Spring MVC中使用PropertyEditor时，让它们从数据库中获取实体是否不好？我应该改为创建一个空实体并设置其ID。

例如，实体Employee：

@Entity
@Table(name = "employee")
public class Employee implements GenericEntity<Integer>{

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Column(name = "employee_id")
    public Integer getEmployeeId() {
        return employeeId;
    }

    public void setEmployeeId(Integer employeeId) {
        this.employeeId = employeeId;
    }

    /** More properties here **/
}

使用以下GenericEntityEditor在下面的PropertyEditor中获取Entity是一个坏主意：

public class GenericEntityEditor<ENTITY extends GenericEntity<Integer>> extends PropertyEditorSupport {

    private GenericDao<ENTITY, Integer> genericDao;

    public GenericEntityEditor(GenericDao<ENTITY, Integer> genericDao) {
        this.genericDao = genericDao;
    }

    @Override
    public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException {
        setValue(genericDao.findById(Integer.valueOf(text)));
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    public String getAsText() {
        ENTITY entity = (ENTITY) getValue();
        if(entity == null) {
            return null;
        }

        return String.valueOf(entity.getId());
    }
}

可以绑定在控制器中：

@Controller
public class EmployeeController {
    /** Some Service-layer resources **/

    @Resource
    private EmployeeDao employeeDao; // implements GenericDao<ENTITY, Integer> genericDao

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @InitBinder
    public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
        binder.registerCustomEditor(Employee.class, new GenericEntityEditor(employeeDao));
    }

    /** Some request mapped methods **/

}

是否更喜欢对EmployeeEditor使用更具体的方法，并使其仅实例化Employee实体并设置其ID：

public class EmployeeEditor extends PropertyEditorSupport {

    @Override
    public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException {
        Employee employee = new Employee();
        employee.setId(Integer.valueOf(text));
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    public String getAsText() {
        Employee employee = (Employee) getValue();
        if(employee == null) {
            return null;
        }

        return String.valueOf(employee.getId());
    }
}

这样，我们不会在窗体上每次有Employee时都进行往返数据库的访问，但是我不确定Hibernate是否可以按预期运行？
