[jira] Updated: (BEEHIVE-892) AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal.places() should have new default value
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-892?page=all ]
Eddie O'Neil updated BEEHIVE-892:
---------------------------------
Fix Version: TBD
Assign To: (was: Mike Foster)
Fixing some fo the fields -- Zach, unfortunately, (3) isn't going to be an option once Beehive 1.0 ships. So, if we want to do that, we need to get a discussion going on the beehive-dev@ list pretty quick. :)

> Currently AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal.places() has a default value of '0' which in my opinion causes some unecessary work on the part of the Controls developer. If a developer sets an AnnotationMemberTypes.Decimal and neglects to set places() greater than '0' no decimal places can be used (fails checks at compile time). This does not seem intuitive to me given that a Decimal by very nature has a decimal place assumed. I propose that one of three things be done with places()
> 1. Set it in a way such that it represents unlimited decimal places (limited by the system, anyway)
> 2. If the main use case for this is currency consider setting places() default value to '2' (however this could be confusing as well and perhaps a BasicCurrency type should be created with this value)
> 3. Do away with 'places()' all together and leave it to the developer to programatically restrict decimal values.
