Lukasz Lenart updated WW-5811:
------------------------------
    Description: 
h2. Problem

HTML5 constraint derivation ({{struts.ui.html5.constraints}}) maps range 
validators to {{min}}/{{max}} only for {{number}} and {{range}} controls. 
{{StrutsHtmlConstraintProvider}} deliberately skips the temporal controls, so 
{{DateRangeFieldValidator}} (and the new {{localdate}} validator, WW-5816) emit 
nothing.

The {{required}} validator has a related gap. {{addRequiredField}} emits 
{{required}} only for {{radio}} and {{file}}, because other controls submit an 
empty string, which the {{required}} validator accepts. A temporal control 
bound to a {{java.util.Date}} (or {{java.time}}) property is different: 
{{DateConverter}} turns {{""}} into null, so the server rejects the empty value 
just as the browser would. These controls currently get only 
{{data-msg-required}}.

h2. Scope
* {{min}}/{{max}} on *{{date}} controls only*, from {{LocalDate}} bounds 
({{localdate}}) and {{java.util.Date}} bounds ({{date}}), written as 
{{yyyy-MM-dd}}. A {{java.util.Date}} bound becomes its calendar date in the 
server default time zone (the zone the submitted value is parsed in); dropping 
the time never makes the browser stricter than the server. Years outside 
0001-9999 are skipped.
* {{required}} on *all temporal controls* ({{date}}, {{month}}, {{week}}, 
{{time}}, {{datetime-local}}) from a {{required}} validator, when the bound 
property's declared type converts {{""}} to null: {{java.util.Date}} and 
subclasses, {{Calendar}}, {{LocalDate}}, {{LocalDateTime}}, {{LocalTime}}, 
{{OffsetDateTime}}. A {{String}} property gets no {{required}}.
* The provider needs the property type, so {{HtmlConstraintProvider}} gains a 
{{default}} {{constraintsFor}} overload carrying it, which delegates to the 
7.4.0 method.

h2. Out of scope

{{min}}/{{max}} on {{month}}, {{week}}, {{time}} and {{datetime-local}}: no 
built-in converter and range validator pair reads their submitted values 
({{datetime-local}} submits without seconds, there is no 
{{LocalTime}}/{{LocalDateTime}} range validator, and {{month}}/{{week}} have no 
converter). A separate ticket if needed.

h2. Problem

HTML5 constraint derivation ({{struts.ui.html5.constraints}}) maps range 
validators to {{min}}/{{max}} only for {{number}} and {{range}} controls. 
{{HtmlControlType.supportsRange()}} already includes the temporal controls 
({{date}}, {{month}}, {{week}}, {{time}}, {{datetime-local}}), but 
{{StrutsHtmlConstraintProvider}} deliberately skips them, because their 
{{min}}/{{max}} values need per-control ISO formatting. As a result, 
{{DateRangeFieldValidator}} emits nothing.

The {{required}} validator has a related gap. {{addRequiredField}} emits 
{{required}} only for {{radio}} and {{file}}, because other controls submit an 
empty string, which the {{required}} validator accepts. A temporal control 
bound to a {{java.util.Date}} (or {{java.time}}) property is different: 
{{DateConverter}} turns {{""}} into null, so the server rejects the empty value 
just as the browser would. These controls currently get only 
{{data-msg-required}}.

This affects {{textfield type="date"}} (and the other temporal types) today, 
and {{datetextfield}} in the html5 theme (WW-5778).

h2. Proposal

In {{StrutsHtmlConstraintProvider}}, map {{DateRangeFieldValidator}} min/max to 
{{min}}/{{max}} for temporal controls, formatted per control:
* {{date}} → {{yyyy-MM-dd}}
* {{month}} → {{yyyy-MM}}
* {{week}} → {{YYYY-'W'ww}} (ISO week-based year)
* {{time}} → {{HH:mm}} (or {{HH:mm:ss}})
* {{datetime-local}} → {{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm}}

Emit {{required}} from a {{required}} validator on a temporal control only when 
the bound property's type converts an empty string to null. A {{textfield 
type="date"}} bound to a {{String}} property must not get it, because the 
server accepts {{""}} there. The provider currently sees only the control type 
and the value, so it needs the property type as well.

Requirements:
* Format the bounds the same way the server compares them, so the browser never 
rejects a value the server accepts (time zone and truncation for 
{{java.util.Date}} bounds)
* Skip the attribute for controls/value types that cannot be represented 
exactly, as the numeric path does for fractional {{min}}
* Tests for each temporal control, including {{datetextfield}} (replace 
{{Html5ConstraintRenderingTest.testRendersNoRequiredOnADateTextField}}), and 
the tag reference updated
