Please refer to <a href="http://stripes.mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-445";>STS-445</a> which hopefully gives an easy way to resolve this issue. > Custom DateTypeConverter classes mysteriously fail > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STS-441 > URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-441 > Project: Stripes > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Validation > Affects Versions: Release 1.4.3 > Environment: Solaris 11 > Reporter: Alan Burlison > Assigned To: Tim Fennell > > I was trying to get Stripes to accept dd/MM/YYYY format dates, so I extended > DateTypeConverter as follows: > protected String[] getFormatStrings() { > String[] o = super.getFormatStrings(); > String[] n = new String[o.length + 1]; > n[0] = "dd/MM/yyyy"; > System.arraycopy(o, 0, n, 1, o.length); > return n; > } > And in my Action class I had: > @Validate(converter=my.project.MyDateTypeConverter.class) > private Date startDate; > And it didn't work - it rejected perfectly valid dates such as "31/12/2007". > The reason is that DateFormat replaces characters such as "/" in the input > string with spaces, but it *doesn't* do the same to the format strings, so > it ends up trying to match "31 12 2007" against "dd/MM/yyyy", which fails. > I'm not sure if this is a documentation bug (i.e. the docs should point out > that custom format strings shouldn't include non-space characters), or a code > bug (i.e. format strings should be subject to the same replacements as the > input string), but it surely *is* a bug. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://mc4j.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
