JXForms validator rejects null value for numeric field





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-06-16 10:14 -------
I've attached a patch file that apparently fixes this bug, but it's more of a
workaround than a real fix. The problem seems to be that, when your form model
has an attribute of a type derived from java.lang.Number and this attribute is
null, the calls

        Pointer pointer = jxcontext_.getPointer(xpath);
        Object property = pointer.getNode();

will return a value of "null" for "property" and it's impossible (AFAIK) to
determine that this is actually a "(java.lang.Number) null" using instanceof.
Thus, you cannot convert the empty string posted by the browser to a null value
only if the property is a Number.

However, the attached patch seems not to break anything in the samples and my forms.
