Diederik,
thanks a lot for the code example. I expect it works seamlessly.
What bothered be most about handling dates is that the result of the
DateSelector cannot be it's input - only if you put together a String and then
parse it. That is why I have augmented the DateSelector to allow this, along
with some other enhancements.
I have added the possibility to read the results of the posted selector back
in. The Calendar object in the DateSelector is adjusted to the new date. It
also provieds a method to retrieve that Calendar, so that you can do the following:
// in the Screen
DateSelector ds = new DateSelector("myDate", Calendar.getInstance(), runData);
context.put("ds", ds);
## in the template
<form action="...">$ds<input type="submit"/></form>
// in the Action (or back in the same screen)
DateSelector ds = new DateSelector("myDate", Calendar.getInstance(), runData);
Calendar result = ds.getCalendar();
This last part might look a bit confusing. The behaviout of the ctor is the
following:
- set the internal calendar to the calendar passed
- *set the internal locale (use for month names) to runData.getLocale()
- override the fields in the calendar with submitted information, if any.
* the locale-thing is a bit pointless, as in t2 the TurbineRunDataService does
not put locale information into runData, you would need to call a
runData.setLocale(runData.getRequest().getLocale()) handish.
