It's certainly possible to do those things with code, although that
approach seems to be falling out of fashion these days. :-)
#1. Write a utility method to call instead of java.util.Date(). What I
use:
public static Date today() {
return org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils.truncate(new
java.util.Date(), Calendar.DATE);
}
#2. I also couldn't see how to tweak the error message elegantly. Here
are my notes from a couple of months ago:
I can tweak the error message format like so:
<bean name="maxDateValidator"
class="org.apache.tapestry.form.validator.MaxDate,message={0} must be on
or before {1}">
<set name="maxDate" value="@[EMAIL PROTECTED]()"/>
</bean>
But that's not flexible enough. It still says:
Last Password Date must be on or before 12/31/05 12:00 AM
when I want:
Last Password Date must be on or before 12/31/2005
It isn't hard to customize our own subclass of the validator though.
Start by
copying the code for org.apache.tapestry.form.validator.MaxDate.java, and
change the buildMessage() method:
private String buildMessage(ValidationMessages messages,
IFormComponent field) {
String maxDateFormattedString = // format the maxDate the way we
want
I can't use the shorthand declaration though... can't put code in the
initializer:
<binding name="validators" value="validators:required,maxDate=today()"/>
So stick with the bean technique.
