T5: different translator behaviour for same component

Hi,

The date picker component im working on atm have a selectable date
format which should be parsed and formatted by the translator.
The date format is passed to the date picker via a parameter, problem
is that the translator is defined in the app module and I dont know
how to get the information about the date format to the translator.

Any ideas?

Hi Ted,

I could be totally wrong, (I just did code inspection, no debugging) but
looking at the TranslatorSource
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/apidocs/src-html/org/apache/tapestry/internal/services/TranslatorSourceImpl.html

or
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/tapestry-core/apidocs/src-html/org/apache/tapestry/internal/services/TranslatorDefaultSourceImpl.html

It doesn't look like new instances of the translator are getting created per
request. That would imply to me that setting data into them would be a bad
thing.

A couple of approaches that you could use:

   1. Configure your date picker in the appmodule to add supported
   formats. Then iterate over the formats until you find one that works.
   2. Don't use a translator, accept the format as a parameter and do the
   date->string->date conversion yourself.

Is this a stupid question or is it just hard to answer?
