Dan Haywood updated ISIS-624:
-----------------------------
Summary: Use javax.validation.constraints.Digits to specify length and
scale for BigDecimal action parameters (to avoid JDO exceptions later). (was:
New @Decimal annotation to specify length and scale for BigDecimal action
parameters (to avoid JDO exceptions later).)

> Key: ISIS-624
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-624
> Project: Isis
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: core-1.3.0
> Reporter: Dan Haywood
> Assignee: Dan Haywood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: core-1.4.0
>
>
> Using the JDO @Column annotation the length/scale of properties can be
> specified. However, there is no capability to capture these semantics for
> action parameters (and the @Column annotation cannot be specified for
> parameters, even if we thought that were a good idea).
> With no semantics, Isis currently infers the scale of a BigDecimal from the
> entered input. For example, entering "123.45" will parse to a BD with scale
> of 2, entering "123.4567" will parse to a BD with scale of 4.
> The problem, then, is that if a BD with too large a scale is assigned to a
> property with a lower scale, then JDO will throw an exception.
> So this ticket is to introduce a new annotation, @Decimal, allowing the
> appropriate semantic to be enforced:
> public class ToDoItem
> @javax.jdo.annotations.Column(length=10, scale=2)
> private Cost cost;
> public void updateCost(@Decimal(10,2) BigDecimal newCost) {
> setCost(cost);
> }
> }
> ~~~~
> In addition, it should be possible to add this annotation to properties too.
> If there is a mismatch between JDO and the Isis annotaitons, then a metamodel
> validation exception should be thrown.
