Jesse Kuhnert commented on TAPESTRY-572:
----------------------------------------

I think the translator services are meant to translate incoming values (which 
are already strings) in to native/object types whereas validators would be just 
for validation of input...  In your case it seems input validation really is 
all you need as translation from string -> number -> string wouldn't make any 
sense. ...

Paul would know best in either case since he wrote the majority of this 
infrastructure.

> Applying NumberValidator to a TextField will allow a number to be validated 
> as a number and stored as a String.  However, NumberValidator is not able to 
> take a String and display it as a number.  I think this should be a 
> bidirectional process.  An example of where this would be useful is the 
> following:
> I'd like to store a number as a String so I don't lose any prepending 0's 
> (which RDBMSs love to throw out) when persisting the data.  However, I do 
> want to ensure that only a number is valid input.
