Lenny Primak commented on TAP5-2211: ------------------------------------ Barry, I don't think that the problem that you mentioned here is unsolvable at all. There can be a mapping between Java and JavaScript DateFormat, and there can be a subclass of DateFormat that returns the format. The whole reason to replace Datepicker in Tapestry is so there is a modern, supported datepicker that's maintained by someone else (JQuery team) and it won't get stale or obsolete soon > Replace DatePicker with JQueryUI DatePicker > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: TAP5-2211 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2211 > Project: Tapestry 5 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: tapestry-core > Affects Versions: 5.4 > Reporter: Lenny Primak > Labels: datefield, datepicker > > The current 3rd party datepicker used by Tapestry is very old, > and isn't very good. It's time to update it to one of > the better currently-available datepickers. > There are about 15 unresolved issues opened against Datepicker that can all > be solved by just replacing it. > I suggest JQueryUI datepicker (if JQuery is included as the default stack) > The current datepicker can be left alone is prototype is chosen. > By default, JQueryUI datepicker should be used with the button-to-activate > option so that it looks similar to the current datepicker. > It should also work properly in BeanEditor and friends and even look good > with form-horizontal version of BeanEditor > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
