Hi! This morning i decided to step up to 5.3.
I noticed that 5.3 is stricter and some of my pages did not work due to the fact that there where event methods with no corresponding template component. So I had to do some cleanup but that I like ! I was also one of the few that had used @PageDetached :-) Now I encountered another problem that at the first sight could not be seen among the breaking changes listing in http://tapestry.apache.org/release-notes-53.html A textfield that is using a none standard type raises an exception. Caused by: org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.util.TapestryException: Failure reading parameter 'translate' of component economy/EditTransaction:date: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.transform.ParameterWorker$3$1.readFromBinding(ParameterWorker.java:259) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.transform.ParameterWorker$3$1.get(ParameterWorker.java:372) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.base.AbstractTextField.getfieldvalue_translate(AbstractTextField.java) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.base.AbstractTextField.begin(AbstractTextField.java:159) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.base.AbstractTextField.beginRender(AbstractTextField.java) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.structure.ComponentPageElementImpl$BeginRenderPhase.invokeComponent(ComponentPageElementImpl.java:202) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.structure.ComponentPageElementImpl$AbstractPhase.invoke(ComponentPageElementImpl.java:143) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] ... 82 common frames omitted Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null at java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.get(ConcurrentHashMap.java:768) ~[na:1.6.0_22] at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.util.AbstractMessages.getFormatter(AbstractMessages.java:67) ~[tapestry-ioc-5.3.jar:na] at $Messages_531628bb891f.getFormatter(Unknown Source) ~[na:na] at $Messages_531628bb899c.getFormatter(Unknown Source) ~[na:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.FieldTranslatorSourceImpl.findFormatter(FieldTranslatorSourceImpl.java:129) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.FieldTranslatorSourceImpl.createTranslator(FieldTranslatorSourceImpl.java:93) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.FieldTranslatorSourceImpl.createDefaultTranslator(FieldTranslatorSourceImpl.java:74) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.jar:na] To get my user types to function in textfield's I have added the following in my module config class which worked in 5.2 public static void contributeTranslatorSource(MappedConfiguration<Class<?>, Translator<?>> configuration) { configuration.add(EmailAddress.class, new EmailTranslator()); configuration.add(Money.class, new MoneyTranslator()); configuration.add(Percentage.class, new PercentageTranslator()); configuration.add(UTDate.class, new UTDateTranslator()); } Thanks in advance!!!
