Konrad Windszus created FELIX-4542: -------------------------------------- Summary: Basic type validation for different types of the Attribute Definitions (AD) within the metatype Key: FELIX-4542 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4542 Project: Felix Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: webconsole-4.2.2 Reporter: Konrad Windszus
The OSGi Compendium 4.3 $105.6.1 defines the following types for the AD elements - String - Long - Double - Float - Integer - Byte - Char - Boolean - Short Currently all except boolean are rendered by the configuration tab in the web console as regular input fields (with type=text) with no further validation. For example it is possible to enter a string for an attribute with type "Long". There is no exception in the log but the value is not changed (because it had the wrong type). One option would be to switch to HTML5 which supports a lot more types OOTB (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_type.asp) or use a library like http://jqueryvalidation.org/documentation/. For all numeric types the minimum and maximum should be set. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
