[jira] Created: (TAPESTRY-572) NumberValidator should accept Strings

NumberValidator should accept Strings
-------------------------------------

         Key: TAPESTRY-572
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-572
     Project: Tapestry
        Type: Bug
  Components: Framework  
    Versions: 4.0    
    Reporter: Kevin J. Menard, Jr.
    Priority: Minor


Applying NumberValidator to a TextField will allow a number to be validated as a number and stored as a String.  However, NumberValidator is not able to take a String and display it as a number.  I think this should be a bidirectional process.  As an example of where this would be useful is the following:

I'd like to store a number as a String so I don't loose an prepending 0's, which RDBMSs love to throw out, when persisting the data.  However, I do want to ensure that only a number is valid input.

I think what you're looking for is the Pattern validator which validates a string against a regular expression.
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4.1/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry/form/validator/Pattern.html
Something like this perhaps?
<binding name="validators" value="validators:pattern=\d+"/>

-----------------------------------------------

Like I said, I'll go with Paul's approach.  It seems to make sense that the validators should handle non-native datatype validation.  But, if your assessment of the translator system is correct, then it's really only applicable for read-only values, unless of the proper type, since the translation is only done in one direction.  So, if it were intended to be a data marshalling service, its utility is limited.

I think I actually meant NumberTranslator.  I had to dig into my code to verify, but I don't use the T3 validation system at all.  Indeed, it looks like the problem is still around with a number translator (<binding name="translator" value="translator:number"/>).

Should I open a new issue or edit this one?

----------------------------------------

I think the translator services are meant to translate incoming values (which are already strings) in to native/object types whereas validators would be just for validation of input...  In your case it seems input validation really is all you need as translation from string -> number -> string wouldn't make any sense. ...

Paul would know best in either case since he wrote the majority of this infrastructure.

That looks like it'd do the trick.  I guess I had just hoped that the number translator would handle this fairly common case.  But, I may have just missed the point, too.  In any event, it probably should break in both directions, rather than work in just one <shrug>.

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I think that NumberValidator has been deprecated in favor of the new validators/translator setup. (where there is no NumberValidator class .....number translators and validators do exist though)
