Better user experience with DateField (and CalendarField).
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CLK-612
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-612
Project: Click
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 2.1.0 RC1
Reporter: Andrey Rybin
Current DateField.validate() is too strict.
My suggestion is:
Add String property similarDelimiters:
its format: [oldChar1][newChar1] [oldChar2][newChar2]....
if odd then ignore last char.
And add this to validate() method (not tested):
dateFormat.setLenient(false);
String v = getValue().trim();
if (similarDelimiters != null && similarDelimiters.length > 0) {
for (int i=0; i<similarDelimiters.length-1; i+=2) {
v = v.replace(similarDelimiters.charAt(i), similarDelimiters.charAt(i+1));
}//f
}//i
try {
dateFormat.parse(v).getTime();
} catch (ParseException pe) {
Because many people around me use /,-,.(dot) as date delimiters, not only / for
example.
