Some i18n issues
Hi,
I'm new to this group so first of all I'm pleased to have the opportunity to
ask questions here.
My question(s):
1) I'm trying to write an application that supports i18n with Struts. I use
DynaActionForm for my forms, so I defined them with initial values, e.g.:
<form-bean name="productForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
....
<form-property name="listprice" type="java.lang.String" initial="1.000"
/>
</form-bean>
I have German and English users. My problem is that it seems to be
impossible to definie initial values for different languages. "1.000" in
Germany means 1000, in UK it means 1. For German users the initial value
should be "1,000".
Is there a solution for this problem?
2) If I use the Validator framework to validate double form values, it's
basically the same problem: Validator seems to know English writing rules of
double values but "1,00" is not a valid double value for Validator, even if
the browser's Locale is set to German.
Is there a solution?
Bye,
Michael.

I think the *cleanest* way is to format data at presentation layer
(jsp). Last example from Laurie is quite correct and clean, if it is too
long code let get a try with JSTL and
Struts-EL taglibs (<html-el:text>)

Hi,
To avoid misunderstandings: My goal is to have a DynaActionForm
definition's "initial"-value translated in a locale specific manner so
that e.g. the <html:text>-tag displays a initial="1,001.00" as a
"1.001,00" in German locale Browsers.
After reading some struts-code I think that the best (meaning
"cleanest") way to do it ist to change the classes that prepopulate
DynActionForms from the "initial" attribute. That won't be easy because
the forms are populated when the modules are configured. That means
there's no locale available by then. That's why I might have to change
some more classes.
I'll try to do those changes and offer the patches on the dev-list.

I guess because there are already ways to format values which can be
composed with <html:text/> so it doesn't *need* to support it. If
there's some reason that approach wont work in some situation or other,
or if you feel strongly that the convenience of adding formatKey to
<html:text/> and/or other tags outweighs the API bloat, you can submit
an enhancement request, though.
> To whom can I send patches that I write?
The best way is to open a ticket in Bugzilla and attach patches there.
Posting to / nagging on the dev list is the best way to get the patches
looked at and would be the best place to ask whether such patches are
likely to be accepted.

Can anyone see a reason why the html:text implementation in struts-html.tld
doesn't support a formatKey attribute?
To whom can I send patches that I write?
Thanks,
Michael.

That doesn't allow the use of the Struts HTML tags though, since you
can't use a tag in a tag attribute... This will work, though:
<html:text name="...">
<jsp:attribute name="value">
<bean:write name="productForm" property="listprice"
formatKey="format.number"/>
</jsp:attribute>
</html:text>
A little cumbersome, and not the only way. You can also do it without a
nested <jsp:attribute/> if you don't mind creating a scripting variable.

Re: Some i18n issues

The problem is that the <html:text> tag doesn't have a formatKey-attribute
and I want the initial value to be displayed in a text-field, not as a pure
html-output.
In other words: I need struts to make a "<input type="text"
name="propertyName" value="1000,00">" out of a "...initial="1000" with
German locale set in browser.
Thans,
Michael.

Re: Some i18n issues
Posted by Michael Ewers <ew...@gmx.de>.
I've set up a workaround overwriting some Validator-classes to make the
validator locale-aware. But I can't believe no validator-commiter noticed
the problem before and changed the code in CVS. Maybe I'll post my
replacement code in Validator Dev-List.
Thanks,
Michael.

Re: Some i18n issues

And for the validator issue, you can localize your validation rules by
defining a seperate set for each locale. I don't know if there's a way
to make the standard, included validations locale-aware but you can
define alternates where necessary if not. Also, Struts 1.3 will
introduce an 'extends' mechanism which will let you only override
validations for those fields that are locale sensitive without having to
repeat the rest.

Re: Some i18n issues
Posted by Ivan Rodriguez <iv...@interd4u.com>.
You have to use an initial value of "1000".
<form-bean name="productForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
....
<form-property name="listprice" type="java.lang.String" initial="1000"
/>
</form-bean>
Then where you print this initial value, at your jsp, use formatting
options:
<bean:write name="productForm" property="listprice"
formatKey="format.number" />
format.number is an entry in you MessageResources.properties
For german MessageResources_de.properties:
format.number=#0.000,00
For english MessageResources_en.properties:
format.number=#0,000.00
