Before I go banging my head against a wall for too long, is it
possible to create a custom property editor to handle a complex (multi-
valued) property?
Yes! :) There's a guide here:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/guide/beaneditform.html. If it is not
enough, post yourr doubts here and we'll try to help you. ;)
I am working with a directory services database via LDAP and it would
be extremely helpful if I can mange to enhance BeanEditForm and
BeanDisplay to handle LDAP entries where a property (LDAP attribute)
may have multiple values.
To be more specific, I want to create a property editor for the
String[] type. At the moment, I just want to display String[]
properties using the BeanDisplay component, but I can already foresee
a need to be able to fully edit a String[] property (including
adding / removing values from the array, using AJAX to add/remove
fields to the form).
Have you taken a look at the Palette component? It looks like it it
already implements what you need:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/ref/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/components/Palette.html.
It, together with a custom DataTypeAnalyzer, one view block (for
BeanDisplay) and one edit block (for BeanEditForm/BeanEditor). The
BeanEditForm guide previously mentioned tells you how to do it.
