else
return new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse((String)o);

catch(ParseException pex)

}
catch(ParseException pex)

or test ofcourse if the value is an instanceof date or string.
We are planning to change the converter interface for the next version of wicket.
Because the current on is a bit to confusing for most people.

Hi, I've been trying to develop an application with wicket, but I don't know how to customize the date format for a textfield. I'm using the DatePickercomponent but I use a different format : dd-MM-yyyy, when I submit the form an exception is thrown because the format is not recognized, I tried to redefine the getConverter method as follows :
TextField fecha = new TextField("fecha", Date.class)
{
public IConverter getConverter()
{
return new IConverter()
{
public Object convert(Object o, Class c)
{
try
{
return new
SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse((String)o);
}
catch(ParseException pex)
{
return null;
}
}
public void setLocale(Locale loc)
{}
public Locale getLocale()
{
return Locale.getDefault();
}
};
}
} ;
but a ClassCastException is thrown, since the method is called twice, once with a String value and once with a Date value. I don't know what is going on, any help on this would be appreciated or a simpler way to accomplish what I want to do .
Thanks.
