Walter, That was the initial implementation, getField was returning a Date and getFieldAsString was returning the String. In the JSP you would call the form field 'fieldAsString'.
I don't remember exactly why, but I really had to change it because of some side-effects too. I always disliked the fact that the field with the actual name modeled had a different type in the generated code. I'm sure it had something to do with the Struts validation framework not accepting it if it wasn't a String, and because the generated validation routines can't easily be modified I chose to do it this way But again, I do agree with you. Why would you need the date instance in valid when ? Are you comparing dates or something ? Is that even possible using the '<' and '>' operators ? I think it's better to work with the String version anyway, can you let me know why you really want a Date ? I'm trying to understand. -- Wouter > -----Original Message----- > From: Walter Mour�o [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 7:17 PM > To: Wouter Zoons > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: validwhen & AsDate suffix > > Hi Wouter, > > I saw a bad side effect of using the "AsDate" suffix in form's date type > fields, the modeler must use "fieldAsDate" instead of "field" when using > the validwhen validator, to get the desired validation. > > I'm thinking about using the "AsString" suffix in the String version of > the getters and setters, keeping the Date field with its original name. > > What do you think ? > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > - > Walter Itamar Mour�o - Diretor de Tecnologia e Projetos - Arcadian S/A > www.arcadian.com.br ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: 2005 Windows Mobile Application Contest Submit applications for Windows Mobile(tm)-based Pocket PCs or Smartphones for the chance to win $25,000 and application distribution.
