Registring CustomPropertyEditors for using in BeanWrapper - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to register custom property editors using the following configuration in my spring boot application.Reffered the following documentation link section 5.4.2.1.
#Bean
public static CustomEditorConfigurer customEditorConfigurer() {
CustomEditorConfigurer configurer = new CustomEditorConfigurer();
configurer.setPropertyEditorRegistrars(new PropertyEditorRegistrar[] {
(registry) -> registry.registerCustomEditor(Instant.class, new CustomInstantEditor()) });
return configurer;
}
When I created a BeanWrapper and using it I am getting the following error
Code:
BeanWrapper newAccountWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(newAccount);
newAccountWrapper.setPropertyValue("chardate", value);
Error is:
Exception is Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.time.Instant] for property 'chardate'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.time.Instant] for property 'chardate': no matching editors or conversion strategy found
But the above code works if I register the CustomEditor for the BeanWrapper
BeanWrapper newAccountWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(newAccount);
newAccountWrapper.registerCustomEditor(Instant.class, new
CustomInstantEditor());
So can I not register customPropertyEditors using CustomEditorConfigurer BeanFactoryPostProcessor ?
Additional Info:
BeanWrapper newAccountWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(newAccount);
newAccountWrapper.registerCustomEditor(Instant.class, new CustomInstantEditor());
newAccountWrapper.registerCustomEditor(Money.class, new CustomMoneyEditor());
newAccountWrapper.setAutoGrowNestedPaths(true);
accountDomainElements.forEach((accountElement, value) -> {
newAccountWrapper.setPropertyValue(accountElement, value);

Give a try
#Bean
public CustomEditorConfigurer customEditorConfigurer() {
CustomEditorConfigurer configurer = new CustomEditorConfigurer();
Map<Class<?>, Class<? extends PropertyEditor>> customEditors = new HashMap<>();
customEditors.put(Instant.class, CustomInstantEditor.class);
configurer.setCustomEditors(customEditors);
return configurer;
}
