Struts2 and joda-time
Hi all.
I'm trying trunk now with a field in my domain-object (User) with a property of type DateTime:
private DateTime birthDate;
Then I have a datepicker in my JSP operation on this property:
<sx:datetimepicker name="user.birthDate" displayFormat="yyyy.MM.dd"/>
And it renders the date correctly
The problem is that it's failing when trying to save the form:
2008-12-16 23:01:14,874 DEBUG [UserAction.java:100] : In prepare()
ognl.MethodFailedException: Method "setBirthDate" failed for object no.officenet.mvctest.struts2.backend.model.User@cca81013 [java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: setBirthDate([Ljava.lang.String;)]
Is this supposed to work? I thought so, reading this:
The comment in WW-2476 saying that "This was resolved as part of XW-473", what does it actually mean?

Isn't #2 what this is about?
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2476
What really confused me was that this issue has status "Resolved" and really isn't resolved at all. The attached files are not in trunk. A comment saying something like "This could be used to write a plugin as we don't want to introduce an external dependency to joda-time" and status="Won't fix" would be nice IMHO.

I use yoda time, also with Hibernate.
Once I found a patch (don't remember where), but as far as i have used
it, i think it works.
package funala.web.typeconverter;
public class Iso8601DateTypeConverter extends StrutsTypeConverter {...}
Try it, It does what it is supposed to do (reading the code), i have
used it, but i don't know if I'm using it properly

I don't know much about the details of plugins, but maybe I'll find some time this x-mas checking things out.
This should be of interest for any framework-developer:

JSR-310, based on joda-time.

I've used it, but all the places I've consulted at use java.util.Date. Yours is the first request for it that I know of, and I follow the user group fairly closely.
Obviously writing your own local converter would be the quickest (an hour?) but a plugin would be cooler.
One potential issue is that it might be more difficult than necessary to have multiple plugin-supplied type converters--doesn't XW look for a single conversion properties file in the CP root?
It'd be better if it did this some way that would allow plugins to supply their own set of converters somehow.

He he, we know different people it seems:-) Anyway, it's not like the API of joda-time changes very often, so I assume it's practically a one-timer. But, I see that this doesn't ich very much, obviously, among the core-developers, and hence doesn't get scratched.
Anyone else needing this, or am I in some kind of joda-cult here in Norway?

Be aware that new DateTime(null) results in "now". (go figure..)
So you may want to check the parameter 'Date start' for null.

Re: Struts2 and joda-time
Posted by Miguel <mi...@gmail.com>.
Something you can allways do, is to define a parallel set of
getter/setter in your bean with type java.util.Date that internally
does the conversion.
public Date getStartDate() {
return start.toDate();
}
public void setStartDate(Date start) {
this.start = new DateTime( start) ;
}

Re: Struts2 and joda-time
Posted by Brian Pontarelli <br...@pontarelli.com>.
Date is pretty much deprecated except for a way to carry a long
primitive around because of the TZ and conversions it lacks. It fails
in some cases and most of the core API on Date is deprecated. Most
folks should be using Calendar for date and time correctness if they
don't want to use Joda and stick with the JDK classes. Calendar
however is very clunky and mutable. Therefore, most people I know that
need to internationalize or localize use Joda because it is correct,
simple and immutable. Also, something very similar to the Joda date/
time API is probably going to be in Java 8.0 or something like that
via JSR 310, unless it gets squashed or no one pushes it forward. Even
still, Joda is the benchmark these days for a date/time API.

I was wondering the opposite - are enough people using Joda Time to make it
worth the support / time / energy in S2? Everyone I know is, in fact, using
java.util.Date.

I kind of hoped that Struts-2 in its most modern form (trunk) included converters for the most common object-types. I think, for what it's worth, the ticket is missleading and that it should be commented somewhere that Struts-2.1 will not support joda-time.
There are a bunch of alternatives to this
1. define a converter in your app
2. write a plugin that has a converter
3. write a patch to xwork XWorkBasicConverter
I kind of doubt that #3 would go thru, as we avoid having
dependencies, as the plague. #2 sounds reasonable.

Ok, so you're saying that Struts2 (even in trunk) is unable to handle joda-time dates out of the box? That's a pitty. In 2008, is anyone actually using pure java.util.Date anymore?
Previously I've created container-objects to wrap joda-classes, which works but shouldn't be necessary. I kind of hoped that Struts-2 in its most modern form (trunk) included converters for the most common object-types. I think, for what it's worth, the ticket is missleading and that it should be commented somewhere that Struts-2.1 will not support joda-time.
I know this sounds kind of rant-ish, but there are so many good things about Struts2 that missing out-of-the-box joda-support is kind of hard to swallow...

It doesn't mean that it will convert from string to a joda object, it
means that it will convert a string in ISO 8601 format, to a Date
object. The patch in that ticket used joda lib to create the ISO 8601,
if I don't remember wrong.
