Andrey Rybin commented on CLK-612:
----------------------------------
My final request is:
Please add
//DateField.java
private Boolean lenientValidation = false;
public Boolean isLenientValidation () {return lenientValidation;}
/**
* null - don't parse date. Only parent's validate (min,max len and required).
Can be useful for soft filters: 2008 ~ since 2008, 2009.02 till feb 2009.
* true - date will be parsed with lenient = true (less strict).
* false - strict date validation
*/
public void setLenientValidation (Boolean value) { lenientValidation = value;}
//@Override public void validate() {
super.validate();
if (isValid() && getValue().length() > 0 && lenientValidation != null) {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = getDateFormat();
dateFormat.setLenient(lenientValidation.booleanValue());
> Better user experience with DateField (and CalendarField).

> Key: CLK-612
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-612
> Project: Click
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0, 2.1.0 RC1
> Reporter: Andrey Rybin
>
> Current DateField.validate() is too strict.
> My suggestion is:
> Add two properties:
> 1) String prop similarDelimiters:
> its format: [oldChar1][newChar1] [oldChar2][newChar2].... if odd then
> ignore last char.
> 2) boolean prop lenientValidation //def false
> 3) Modify setValue (not tested):
> public void setValue(String value) {
> if (value != null && value.length() > 0) {
> value = value.trim();
> if (similarDelimiters != null && similarDelimiters.length > 0) {
> for (int i=0; i<similarDelimiters.length-1; i+=2) {
> value = value.replace(similarDelimiters.charAt(i),
> similarDelimiters.charAt(i+1));
> }//f
> }//i
> try {
> Date parsedDate = getDateFormat().parse(value);
> // Cache date for subsequent retrievals
> date = new Date(parsedDate.getTime());
> } catch (ParseException pe) {
> date = null;
> }
> } else {
> date = null;
> }
> super.setValue(value);
> }//setValue
> Because people in Russia use different characters (ex: /,-, .(dot)) as date
> delimiters, not one.
> So I will set similarDelimiters to "-/\\/./" and pattern to dd/MM/yyyy - and
> it will work.
> 4) Modify validate()
> dateFormat.setLenient(lenientValidation);
