Hubert,
Good morning! ( Since I am sending it from Australia.)
I am reading the document on formDef, it is such a nice plugin so why don't
you incorporate it into Struts? It will make project much productive.
Question for you,
Property type global converters
Property type global converters are applied to all fields of a certain
type. An example of this would be declaring the Date converter that's
declared to handle Date fields.
<form-definition>
<global-converters>
<global-converter *for="property-type"
target="java.util.Date"*
param="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
</global-converters>
</form-definition>
How can I convert an input from user to the Date field base on the Locale?
I mean the locale is a varible during the session and conversion can
handle multiple locales.
Sorry for asking this, but in a locale aware web application, the
input is based on Locale
For example, in US, enter 10/12/2005 it will be converted to October
12, 2005 and this is December 10, 2005
if the locale is Australia. How the global converter handles this?
Thanks for your time.
Regards
