Hi John,
what I typically do is setting it during the initialization of the
member variables:
private Date start_date = new Date();
That should use the date of today if no other has been assigned
through the setter. Just keep the format constraint and it will
display as you want.
Hope this helps.

Hi folks,
firstly, thanks much for RIFE. I am not a web developer, (mainly
server side java non-web apps). But finding web app development much
more pleasent than i expected using this framework, though I have yet
to try ROR or Grails.
moving on..
I have this constraint in my MetaData class for a date field:
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
ConstrainedProperty startDConstraint = new
ConstrainedProperty("start_date")
.notNull(true)
.notEmpty(true)
.format(formatter)
.autoRetrieved(true)
.editable(true)
.listed(true);
startDConstraint.setDefaultValue(formatter.format(new Date()));
addConstraint(startDConstraint);
When utilizing the CreateCrudStructureParticipant to create the table
for the underlying POJO, I get this error:
WARNING: The crud structure for
com.uwyn.rife.rep.participants.CreateCrudStructureParticipant4
couldn't be installed, it probably already exists : Error while
executing the SQL 'CREATE TABLE mytable (end_date DATETIME NOT NULL,
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, start_date
DATETIME DEFAULT '09/16/06' NOT NULL, timestamp DATETIME DEFAULT
'2006-09-16 12:28:25.0' NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id), CHECK (name !=
''))'.; Invalid default value for 'start_date'
I wanted to use setDefaultValue on my date field to simply fill-in a
default date abiding by "mm/dd/yy" format just for presentation
purposes. Obvioulsy the filed validation is set to use the formatter I
defined. So I suspect what is happening is the validation on the Date
field using setDefaultValue is done at the model level rather at the
view level and hence a the error.
What is the best way to set the text of a date field that is auto
generated by RIFE ?
regards
J.
