I have a widget defined with a base datatype of date. I have the
calendar pop-up attached so that the user can enter dates easily.
However, if the users types in a date by hand, and gets it wrong, the
rather unhelpful error message is:
datatype.conversion faileddatatype.date
Fine for developers whilst writing the application but ...
Even worse, if the user types in nothing (on a freshly added row), the
form accepts this without complaint (I'm not quite sure why this
should be - I have a pattern convertor and the empty string doesn't
match the pattern - well, I don't think it does:
<fd:datatype base="date">
<fd:convertor datatype="date" type="formatting">
<fd:patterns>
<fd:pattern>yyyy-MM-dd</fd:pattern>
</fd:patterns>
</fd:convertor>
</fd:datatype>
Anyway, clearly I need a validator so I can give appropriate error
messages. Looking at the documentation, there does not appear to be
one available for date fields. Does that mean I have to write one in
javascript (or will I need to use java?)?
