How would I disable a converter for a textfield based on the value of a
checkbox? I have the following code and if the checkbox is not checked I
don't need the converter code to run. I just would want to clear the
textfield.
final TextField mortgageAmountSpouse = new
TextField("mortgageAmountSpouse"){
@Override
public boolean isVisible() {
return
lifeInsuranceNeedsBean.isSpouseIncluded();
}
@Override
public IConverter getConverter(Class<?> type) {
//if("on".equalsIgnoreCase(payMortgageSpouseDies.getInput())){
return new
PfsDoubleConverter(args){
};
}
};

Mike,
Yes, it would make your code a bit easier to read (and maintain) if you
sub-classed DoubleConverter.
Also another tip from the Wicket Cookbook (pg 27):
You can register converters in your wicket application. This way all
formcomponents that are converting Double (or a given type) will use
your customer converter. That will keep you from having to override
getConverter every time.
public class WicketApplication extends WebApplication {
protected IConverterLocator newConverterLocator() {
ConverterLocator locator =
(ConverterLocator)super.newConverterLocator();
locator.set(Double.class, new MikesDoubleConverter());
return locator;
}
I hope Igor doesn't mind me sharing all the great tips in his book. I
sound like a walking advertisement.
