Any plans from the Tapestry team to include this ( http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-817) in the core tapestry codebase?
I'd say its a pretty basic requirement and I'm actually surprised it isn't part of Tapestry yet. Regards, -Yves- On 9/2/05, Paul Ferraro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The NumberTranslator internally uses java.text.DecimalFormat to parse/format numbers. Unfortunately, DecimalFormat is only capable of parsing/formatting numbers with at most double precision or smaller. To work with BigDecimal (or BigInteger for that matter) you will need to write your own Translator implementation. Contribute your implementation to the tapestry.form.translator.Translators configuration point and you'll be able to leverage the translator binding prefix.
