What I need is not what I want in this case.. I want to reuse wicket components as much as possible. I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
In wicket, there are two separate, Date-specific TextField components: - org.apache.wicket.extensions.markup.html.form.DateTextField - org.apache.wicket.datetime.markup.html.form.DateTextField Both use different DateConverters, to be located at: - org.apache.wicket.util.convert.converter.DateConverter - org.apache.wicket.datetime.DateConverter The components in wicket-datetime are more convenient and powerful, so I'm gonna use them. The only drawback I see is the spartanic ConversionException, in which e.g. the dateformat information is missing. The exception created by wicket-etensions's DateConverter holds that information. So yes, I guess this is a break. That also raises a much bigger question: Why is that legacy code (my guess) in wicket-extensions still there? Why don't consolidate those two? As I see it, same authors were working on both packages? 2012/11/5 Martin Grigorov <mgrigo...@apache.org> > Hi, > > We follow users@ mailing list too :-) > > Since > 1) DateConverter is not final > 2) the related methods in it are public, non-final > 3) it is possible to register custom converter for Date.class in > ConverterLocator > > I think you should be able to do what you need. > Are there any breaks ? > > On Sun, Nov 4, 2012 at 1:59 PM, Simon B <simon.bott...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Benedikt > > > > Should this be posted on the "Forum for Wicket Core developers" forum? > > > > Simon > > > > > > > > -- > > View this message in context: > http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/format-value-missing-in-ConversionException-thrown-by-wicket-datetime-s-DateConverter-tp4653598p4653603.html > > Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org > > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org > > > > > > -- > Martin Grigorov > jWeekend > Training, Consulting, Development > http://jWeekend.com > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org > >
