Well I'm always hopeful. :P Trying to create something that can
_potentially_ scale back to CF5 without changing the implementation
code for an application and never wanting to require someone to have
access to the WEB-INF directory so that it supports shared-hosting.
I'll probably use something for numberformatting that's similar to my
parse-date function which allows a custom function to override the
default java implementation if present, so that a developer could
easily swap out their own implementation of number formatting for any
given locale or for all locales application-wide simply by creating
the appropriately named function.
The parse-date function looks like this:
function lsdateparse(datestring) {
var locale = request.tapi.jLocale(request.tapi.arg(arguments,2,""));
var jformat = false; var jnfield = false;
var fnformat = request.tapi.ls("%tap_fnDateParse");
datestring = trim(datestring);
if (iscustomfunction(fnformat)) { return
fnformat(datestring,locale); }
if (not isdefined("request.tapi.lsdateobject")) {
request.tapi.lsdateobject =
createObject("java","java.text.DateFormat");
} jformat = request.tapi.lsdateobject;
jformat = jformat.getDateInstance(3,locale);
return jformat.parse(javacast("string",datestring));
}
I haven't released this yet, I'm still testing it. "fnformat" checks
for a localized variable which is then substituted for the remainder
of this function if it's a custom function.
"request.tapi.lsdateobject" is cached in the application scope
(request.tapi is a pointer on mx) so that the dateformat object is
only instantiated once -- I'm guessing I'll probably need to modify
that so that it caches a separate instance for each locale. I noticed
I needed to cache one object for each locale with the util.Locale
objects.
