---------------------------------------
Assign To: Chad Schoettger
> AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal.places() should have new default value
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEEHIVE-892
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-892
> Project: Beehive
> Type: Improvement
> Components: Controls
> Versions: V1
> Reporter: Zach Smith
> Assignee: Chad Schoettger
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal.places() has a default value of '0'
> which in my opinion causes some unecessary work on the part of the Controls
> developer. If a developer sets an AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal and neglects
> to set places() greater than '0' no decimal places can be used (fails checks
> at compile time). This does not seem intuitive to me given that a Decimal by
> very nature has a decimal place assumed. I propose that one of three things
> be done with places()
> 1. Set it in a way such that it represents unlimited decimal places (limited
> by the system, anyway)
> 2. If the main use case for this is currency consider setting places()
> default value to '2' (however this could be confusing as well and perhaps a
> BasicCurrency type should be created with this value)
> 3. Do away with 'places()' all together and leave it to the developer to
> programatically restrict decimal values.
