Hi All:
If I user xml as data to binding cocoon forms,I must using DateConvertor to convert
string to date like:
<fb:value id="date"
path="date" >
<fd:convertor datatype="date" >
<fd:patterns>
<fd:pattern>yyyy-MM-dd</fd:pattern>
</fd:patterns>
</fd:convertor>
</fb:value>
the data may looks like:
<date>1971-05-06</date>
But if the data is <date><date> it will error like:
org.apache.avalon.framework.CascadingRuntimeException:
"resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/Form.js", line 160: uncaught
JavaScript exception: at bindingSample
(file:/D:/eclipse/workspace/cocoon-2.1/build/webapp/samples/blocks/forms/flow/bindings.js,
Line 73) at (resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/Form.js, Line 160):
java.lang.RuntimeException: Incorrect value type for "date" (expected class
java.util.Date, got class java.lang.String.
But it works only several days ago,so I check the cvs and believe is Bruno's change in
5.6 makes it. Here's what he said in cvs comments:
Made Convertor.convertFromString contract more solid by letting it
return a ConversionResult object (instead of null/not-null to indicate
successful conversion). This also moves the responsibility
of creating the ValidationError to the Convertor, allowing convertors
to set more specialised messages in them.
What can I do to convert an blank ("") string to Date type? Or this should be
considered in the FormattingDateConvert.java?I believe this function is need because
date may be blank.
WDYT?
