Create easier way to create specialized text fields for editing specific data
types
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TAP5-1398
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-1398
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: tapestry-core
Affects Versions: 5.3.0
Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
Priority: Minor
I'd like to see a special base class that could be extended to easily provide
server-side logic for editting a field.
My scenario is a drop down list for selecting a country which Ajax-updates a
drop down list for a region within a country and a text field for the city name
(with autocomplete).
City is represented as an entity is my schema; I'd like an easy way to extract
the city.name property as the initial value of the field when rendered, and
then have a way to turn the country/region/city name into a City entity when
the form is submitted.
I've cobbled together a mechanism using mixins, but it is a bit awkward to use.
This seems to cry out for a simple subclass of AbstractTextField, perhaps
EditField<T>.
