                 Key: TAPESTRY-1931
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1931
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.6
            Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship


Currently, there's a fairly simple mapping from Java property type to Tapestry 
property type ... the latter being a string used to select appropriate 
components to display the value of a property or edit the value of a property.

However, type is not always enough.  For example, String and Number both map to 
"text", but a String could also be a long text field (use a <textarea>) or 
perhaps a rich text field (we will eventually add a rich text editor to 
Tapestry).  Likewise, Date maps to "date" but that doesn't allow for time 
input, just the date portion.

How about:

public class MyBean {
  private String _password;
  private String _note;

  public String getPassword() { return _password; }

  @PropertyType("password")
  public void setPassword(String password) { _password = password; }

  public String getNote() { return _note; }

  @PropertyType("longtext")
  public void setNote(String note) { _note = note);

}
