x:convertBoolean

[Ken Weiner <kw...@gmail.com>]

JSF has <f:convertDateTime> and <f:convertNumber>, but nothing I've
seen to convert Booleans to custom values.  Has something like
<x:convertBoolean> already been written by anyone?  I have just
written one and would be willing to contribute it to MyFaces if there
is interest.

It is used like this:

<h:outputText value="#{backingBean.isABooleanValue}">
    <x:convertBoolean trueValue="Yes" falseValue="No"/>
</h:outputText>

Yes this is true and yes SVN seems to be down (actually the entire
server on which SVN resides is down.)  I have informed the appropriate
people about that.

Docs are required and unit tests are a definite plus.  If you thought
we were bad with documentation, the lack of unit tests is even worse! 
We're slowly getting on top of that though.  As we add more committers
and get through JSF 1.1 certification we will turn our attention to
testing.  If you can add simple unit tests that don't require cactus,
etc. then please add those as well.

Thanks Sean.  I just created
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-451 and uploaded my code
and patches in case anyone wants to take a look.  I'm happy to add
more docs and unit tests if required.

Looking forward to your contribution.  Dennis is correct in pointing
out that the patch should be for sandbox.  Feel free to ask around on
the dev list if you have questions regarding procedure, patching, etc.

I think you'll want to put it in a package for the sandbox, not tomahawk. 
I'd check to see if this is true, but 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/ gives me a gateway timeout.

Ok, great, I will get familiar with the sandbox, change my code to
follow the packages for tomahawk, and submit patches to JIRA.  Looking
forward to participating...

Suggestion: Add an issue to JIRA (select "sandbox" as the component
type.)  This gives committers a chance to shout down any ideas they
find completely objectionable so you don't waste your time (this is
not one of those ideas btw.)

Then provide a SVN patch and we'll add it to sandbox.  Be prepared to
provide documentation and a simple example (or add to an existing
simple example) when appropriate.  The docs and examples are now
required for new tomahawk goodies.

Looks convenient Ken.  Please post your code.  I would like to see it, 
even if this does not make it to the issue tracker.
