RE: i18n input
So does your translation code handle user input errors, like a number/date in wrong format or does it make a "best guess"? Do you keep your translations.xml file upto date by hand or use ant to generate at build time? My app has hundreds of forms with multiple date/number fields. I hadn't thought of extending the html:input & bean:write tags to include a locale for formatting. Great idea! I convert the BigDecimals into a locale formatted String for html:input and use the formatKey variable of bean:write for display. -Original Message- From: Simon Matic Langford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 7:03 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: i18n input ___ *** WARNING *** This email has been received from the internet.

RE: i18n input
I changed the implementation of the validateNumber etc validation functions in struts to versions which take account of locale, but driven off the same file. the translator assumes that by the time it has got it for population, it will be correct, if there is any error, then it reverts back to the entered value rather than throw an exception... simon > -Original Message- > From: Huw Richards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 06 December 2004 16:05 > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: i18n input > > > So does your translation code handle user input errors, like > a number/date > in wrong format or does it make a "best guess"? > > Do you keep your translations.xml file upto date by hand or use ant to > generate at build time?

RE: i18n input
Hi It was something along those lines. My business objects tend to have convert methods where I take the strings of the value object (which have been created in the Action from the form) and turn them into their correct types. I have a NumberUtil class which I use for converting locale specific strings into BigDecimal. This NumberUtil class has a static method which takes a String and a Locale as parameters and returns a BigDecimal.

As a side note, if I'm not mistaken, there has been a Red Hat Linux release with the numeric keypad key "." outputting always "," when using the appropriate locale, but this made the users quite frustrated because many of them are used to using this key to really mean ".", not always "decimal separator" (the dot at the end of a sentence, the dot in programming languages, etc). -- Guillaume Cottenceau - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: i18n input
The one problem I had with i18n input was with European locales where "," is used as the decimal separator. The number would be formatted with "," as the decimal separator but as the input boxes are just text, the numeric keypad which produces "," in excel when "." is pressed just produces "." in the number box. I had to rely on an adapted javascript to mask the numbers on field entry & exit. -Original Message- From: Jim Barrows [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 11:00 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: i18n input ___ *** WARNING *** This email has been received from the internet.

Re: i18n input
FormDef can help you with this. https://formdef.dev.java.net. There's a locale.war sample app download which can work with different locales. It doesn't have support for BigDecimals, though (not yet, anyway). For displaying them on the screen, experiment bean:write with format/formatKey/locale attributes. If you use FormDef to specify format keys, you can use the same key for form input and display.
