Tim Fennell resolved STS-445.
-----------------------------
Fix Version/s: Release 1.5
Resolution: Fixed
I've just checked in Freddy's version (attached to STS-445) with some edits.
I believe it solves /most/ problems. Firstly a couple of points for everyone
to remember:
1. In the trunk/1.5 code base TypeConverterFactory.add() is now public - you
don't need to write your own factory to add custom converters, you just need to
register them at startup (in an existing context listener or base action bean
perhaps?)
2. You can choose to extend Stripes' DateTypeConverter, but if you don't like
it or you're finding it hard work, you are also free to write your own from
scratch (even taking the code from DateTypeConverter - it's ASL licensed). If
all you want is to parse one very specific format it's probably easier to write
a new class and it'd be about 4-5 lines of actual code!!!!
With that out of the way, here are the changes between the 1.4 version and what
I just checked in:
a. Documentation is clearer about the fact that patterns (by default) should be
white space separated
b. There is now a single getFormatStrings() method that returns format strings
INCLUDING the default Locale ones. This means that overriding this method alone
will now replace ALL format strings, not just a subset of them.
c. getFormatStrings() will look in the resource bundle for format strings, and
if found they will supercede all format strings (including the Locale default
ones)
d. The pattern for preprocessing (which matches "what should be replaced with
single spaces") is now overridable in code and in the resource bundle
e. Pre-processing is broken into two methods to that it's easy to disable all
or part of it with a no-op override. The methods are preProcessInput() which
does the regex replacement and then delegates to checkAndAppendYear() which
checks to see if it is a two-part Date (i.e. day and month) and appends the
year to the String to enable parsing
