[jira] [Updated] (TAP5-2429) Cannot contribute client-side translators

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2429?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Geoff Callender updated TAP5-2429:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Tapestry has client-side translators which, on input, translate before validation. They use the same error-reporting mechanism as the validators (highlight the field and its label, display the message below the field). 

However, we cannot contribute our own translators. Consider these situations where the server-side field is numeric:

    Enter amount: [        ] (eg. 2k=2000, 5m=5000000]  
    Enter elapsed: [ 2:30] (min:sec)  
    Enter duration: [ 2m30s] (eg. 1m17s)  

When the server-side is numeric and the client-side representation is non-numeric, it fails client-side validation because it's not a number. If we could do client-side translation then this would be solved. 

Currently, instead, we have to disable client-side validation. For a live example, see the 4th field here (Preview 25):

    http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au/jumpstart7/examples/input/augmentingtranslators

I've seen a suggestion that Translator#render(Field field, String message, MarkupWriter writer, FormSupport formSupport) might solve this. If so, then perhaps this should be a documentation request because I've been unable to find any examples in the documentation.
