[jira] Updated: (TAP5-211) Client-side validation of numeric user
input does not take into account the user's locale which causes spurious
client- and server-side exceptions when users enter numbers "naturally"
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-211?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Howard M. Lewis Ship updated TAP5-211:
--------------------------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Improvement)
Summary: Client-side validation of numeric user input does not take into account the user's locale which causes spurious client- and server-side exceptions when users enter numbers "naturally" (was: Add localization to translators to allow for localized display/entering of values)
The biggest problem is the use of thousands-seperators ("," in the US, "." in many other places) and the decimal point ("." in the US, "," in many other places).
Switched from using Number.toString() and Long.parseLong(), Integer.parseInteger(), etc. to something more powerful, based on localized NumberFormats.
In the attitude of "be gracious in what you accept and precise in what you emit" ... the thousands-seperator is simply ignored on the client side.

> Localization support for pages and messages is great in Tapestry but it lacks support for localization of input values because the translators don't have support for it. It would be great if users could just enter numbers etc. in their respective locale, e.g. use ',' instead of '.' to seperate decimal places from the integer part, out of the box.
