Interesting CForms Validation Behavior

[Daniel Curran <da...@dotech.com>]

When I apply this formatting to my double in my form definition file I 
am seeing a weird issue with truncating my data, instead of throwing a 
validation error.

The convertor I have applied:

<fd:datatype base="double">
   <fd:convertor type="formatting">
       <fd:patterns>
           <fd:pattern>#,##0.00</fd:pattern>
       </fd:patterns>
   </fd:convertor>
</fd:datatype>

When I enter a number such as 123abc the number that is stored is 123.

What I would expect to happen is that a validation error would be thrown 
showing the number I entered to be invalid.

Is there a fix to this behavior? or do you know what might be causing this?

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

if you want to have validation I guess you should have the validation element 
within your widget definition.

<fd:validation>
</fd:validation>

See http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/forms/validation.html#General+remarks 
for some more information.

Greetz,

Jeroen
