Yes, I love that mailing list :-)

Martijn,
Is there not already an EasyUpperCaseRUs.com web service you can
subscribe
to for unlimited conversions at an annual fee of under 30,000USD (or
100USD/conversion) who also have a "5 free conversions" trial
subscription?
Ether way, I would suggest this be done at conversion time so
validation can
do its job properly and you're not handing off conversion
responsibilities
where they don't belong. Some solutions leaving this transformation
of the
text input by the user until after conversion in the form processing
life-cycle may be less lines of code (or less classes), but IMO, are
bending
rules and ignoring good design principles.
Of course, others may disagree and come up with all sorts of "neat"
solutions that still manage to upper-case a string; how about "just
cut out
the middle-man altogether and do it in a stored-procedure triggered on
INSERT and UPDATE" - that would work too, but wouldn't be my choice.
There's also a degree of "it depends" here, but generally, the
form-processing life-cycle should be respected or explicitly
overridden for
a good design reason (to meet user requirements).

I suggest setting up an ESB with a UppercaseService that is available
through EJB/SOAP/JAX-RS and JSON. UppercaseModel could then access
that UppercaseService to make the value uppercase.

you can create a convertermodel that takes an instance of iconverter
and uses that to convert the values, then you can subclass
textfield,
override initmodel() and wrap any model the textfield had with this
one.
that way everyone is happy!

LOL! Nah - I would just change all the setters on every domain
object
to
be:
public void setFoo(String foo) {
this.foo = foo == null ? null : foo.toUpperCase();
}
Or, maybe I'd use AOP and build an aspect that could automatically
intercept
calls to com.mydomain setters that take a single string argument
and do
the
upper-casing there!
It's makes me smile to think of how many ways a single thing can be
done.
Leszek - you should now definitely have plenty of choices. Pick
which
feels
best / most comfortable for you!

Igor,
Nope, not for me (this time).
Here's the Javadoc for updateModel:
* Updates this components model from the request, it
expects
that
the
object is already
* converted through the convertInput() call that is
called by
the
validate() method when a form
* is being processed.

pft, you guys!
i would go with the simplest!
class uppercasetextfield extends textfield<string> {
public void updatemodel()
{
final String str=getconvertedinput();
setdefaultmodelobject((str==null)?null:str.touppercase());
}
}
done!

Jeremy,
I sensed you were uncomfortable with my "most Wicket-way"
suggestion
when
I
read
http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-Uppercasing-inputs-p22338461.htmlyour
previous post on this thread stating that the model doing the
transformation work was on the "right track"; it is not
unusual that
more
than one design can satisfy a given requirement.
Do you like the idea of a model being responsible for
conversion of
users'
textual input?
Your article illustrates the use of nested models nicely but
on this
occasion I would probably go with
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Uppercasing-inputs-p22332471.html
Adriano's
idea
for a client side, instant gratification, solution, and a custom
text
field
with a converter if the conversion can happen later, on the
server.

Cemal,
I think I have to respectfully disagree with you here. I
describe
what
I
feel is a better solution, and a little bit of why in this blog
post
from
a
few months ago:
http://www.jeremythomerson.com/blog/2008/11/06/wicket-the-power-of-nested-models/
Basically, doing it the way you suggested isn't reusable
across
many
components - you have to create overridden variants of each
type of
input.
Also, a converter (or more specifically, an implementation of
IConverter)
is
supposed to be for transforming a type of object to a string
usable
in
the
browser / form post / etc, as it's javadoc mentions.
Anyway, as the saying goes "there are many ways to skin a
cat" -
although
the saying isn't that great, I think it applies - there are
multiple
ways
of
accomplishing the same thing.

Leszek,
... or, probably the most "Wicket-way" of doing this is to
make a
TextField
subclass that overrides getConverter to return your special
IConverter
implementation which performs the capitalisation in its
convertToObject.

Hello,
one of my customers has this weird requirement that all data
should
be
input/shown uppercase. I can easily add
input {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
to my css rules, but this does not change the fact that data
written
into database will still be case sensitive.
How can I create a behavior for TextField so that the dat is
uppercased
before being written to the model?
my regards
