Alfie Kirkpatrick commented on TAP5-619:
----------------------------------------
Thanks. Am already aware of overrides. In this case I do not know the specific
field names. I want to map property types to custom edit blocks. And I am
already past beaneditform and beaneditor. I want to create a component around
propertyeditor directly...
I perhaps could do something cludgy with overrides (will check) but already
have customisations around beanblocksource, hence the request.
I can probably hack around this by appending my property types with some custom
string like **SEARCHMODE** and then checking for this in my
beanblockoverridesource, but setting a specific beanblocksource on
propertyeditor would be much more elegant ;-)
Perhaps I should have raised this on the mailing list first. If I have followed
the wrong protocol please let me know, but I saw this as a relatively simple
and clear cut wishlist request. Regards.

> Reporter: Alfie Kirkpatrick
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am building a search form and would like to override the default edit
> blocks with search-style ones. This is conjunction with a HashMap<String,
> Object> backed bean model. As an example, for dates I want to have a date
> range block which sends back a start/end range for a date, possibly as a
> DateRangeSearchTerm against the property name in the hashmap. The search
> implementation will then know how to convert this into a query to the backend.
> I might be pushing the whole BeanEditModel/Conduit framework further than
> intended? However, doing it this way provides some nice ways to override an
> auto-built form, eg. by restricting/reordering the properties or by
> overriding specific blocks even further.
