Hello,
We use Wicket 1.3.5 and I found something annoying with the DateTextField.
In the constructor of that class, the converter is created internally.
If I want to use my own converter, I need to inherit DateTextField, add a
converter as a member, and return it in the getConverter method.
Why not have a protected method (that can be overridden) that returns the
converter:
Instead of:
public DateTextField(String id, IModel model, String datePattern)
{
super(id, model, Date.class);
this.datePattern = datePattern;
*this.converter = new DateConverter()
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* @see
org.apache.wicket.util.convert.converters.DateConverter#getDateFormat(java.util.Locale)
*/
public DateFormat getDateFormat(Locale locale)
{
return new SimpleDateFormat(DateTextField.this.datePattern);
}
};*
}
Do something like:
public DateTextField(String id, IModel model, String datePattern)
{
super(id, model, Date.class);
this.datePattern = datePattern;
*this.converter = newDateConverter();*
}
and
protected newDateConverter() {
return new DateConverter()
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* @see
org.apache.wicket.util.convert.converters.DateConverter#getDateFormat(java.util.Locale)
*/
public DateFormat getDateFormat(Locale locale)
{
return new SimpleDateFormat(DateTextField.this.datePattern);
}
};
}
BTW, I know that we can also use the newConverterLocator() in our
application.
Do you think I should open a JIRA issue with 'wish' for that?
