Peter Beshai commented on TAPESTRY-2332:
----------------------------------------
Oh, that's great! I think this annotation should be mentioned in the
BeanEditFrom Guide. It would also be useful if there was a list of default data
types that come with Tapestry.
-----
Explicitly Set Data Type
There are some cases when you want to override the default data type supplied
by DataTypeAnalyzer, such as when you want your String property to be displayed
as a text area instead of a text field (without having to manually override the
editor every time). In such a case, the DataType annotation may be applied to
the property (either the getter or the setter method).
The DataType values available by default and their respective editing
components are:
* text - text field
* longtext - text area
* enum - drop down list
* boolean - checkbox
> Annotation for property of bean used by BeanEditForm to allow automatic use
> of TextArea

> Project: Tapestry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 5.0
> Reporter: Peter Beshai
> Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would be nice if I could just add an annotation to a String property, in a
> similar fashion to @NonVisual, and have the beanEditor just display it as a
> textArea by default instead of a TextField.
> e.g.
> @TextArea
> public String getDescription() { ... }
> Maybe you could do something like detect if the annotation is there and wrap
> the property in a "LargeString" which has a edit block defined as TextArea
> instead of TextField.
