Hi.
First of all: sorry if this request for feature is going to the wrong place.
Now then...
Request for Feature: type attribute in <html:text>
--------------------------------------------------
Often I find myself having
private Integer myInt;
public Integer getMyInt() {return myInt;}
public void setMyInt(Integer myInt) { this.myInt = myInt; }
in my ActionForm.
The input for myInt comes from a JSP page using the <html:text> tag.
But since <html:text> is using String as the data type I've to assign the
value to
private String myIntString;
and do the conversion in validate().
It would be great if one could specify:
<html:text property="myInt" type="java.lang.Integer"/>
since Integer can take a String in the constructor. If a
NumberFormatException is thrown a stack-trace is ok to present to the user
IMO.
Yes, I know that one should use the validate(ActionMapping mapping,
ServletRequest request) for this kind of job -- but in simple cases this
would be a great feature to have (and no I wouldn't use this feature in
production; only for development).
Comment ? (or am I totally off here?)
Cheers,
Jesper
