IntegerValidator does not default to "Entry was not a valid number" if the 
entry does not contain a valid number.

                 Key: TRB-74
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRB-74
             Project: Turbine
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: Core 2.3.3
         Environment: Linux OS running turbine 2.3.3 & tomcat 
            Reporter: Susi Berrington
            Priority: Minor


We are using intake for our validation where possible and recently noticed that 
if the intake.xml file specifies a field with type="int" and doesn't specify an 
"invalidNumber" rule, i.e.:

<group name="Config" key="ConfigKey" mapToObject="data.details.ConfigDetails">
         <field name="Field" key="field" type="int" mapToProperty="Field">
                 <rule name="minValue" value="0">Please enter a value between 0 
and 100</rule>
                 <rule name="maxValue" value="100">Please enter a value between 
0 and 100</rule>
         </field>
 </group>

then there is no error message displayed when you call 
$intake.Config.Default.Field.Message.  This is because this error message is 
only set in the org.apache.turbine.services.intake.validator.IntegerValidator 
constructor that takes a Map and the 
org.apache.turbine.services.intake.model.Field class which is creating the 
IntegerValidator calls the default constructor.

I notice that in 2.4 M1 javadoc this whole section of code is deprecated in 
favour of package org.apache.fulcrum.intake.validator.IntegerValidator, etc. 
but looking at that source code the defect is still in there too.

I've written this as a minor defect as the work around is to add the 
"invalidNumber" to the field's rules but this isn't a preferred long term 
solution.

I think the best solution would be to initialize invalidNumberMessage to "Entry 
was not a valid number" in NumberValidator as a safety net.  Then if any 
overriding class doesn't create their own default error message at least there 
would be a generic one set.  And then in IntegerValidator, LongValidator, etc. 
either get both constructors to set a default message for invalidNumberMessage 
or try removing the default constructor and see if all the places which call 
the default constructor could call the other constructor?
