Global setting for date format
Hi,
is there a way in Tapestry to set global date formats? As it is now we specify the date format inside the tag like this:
It would be much easier and less error prone if we could specify the format as a global setting.
Thanks,
Özkan

I can't see the usage example you are referring too. Have you tried using
the global *app.properties* file ? I reckon it's named after your module
name so if your module class is *MyAppModule.java*, your application
catalog filename should be *myapp.properties* (Case insensitive I think)
In that file you can store your format and refer to it through
${message:your.date-format}
Unless you are trying to use a default date format without even specifying
the *format* attribute as in the
DateField<http://tapestry.apache.org/current/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/corelib/components/DateField.html>
component
(The only example I can think of since you didn't specify which component
is asking you for a date format), well I don't know how to do that since
that attribute is required !

Unfortunately, nabble seems to have removed your example so I can't see it.
I'm assuming that your post is related to DateField.
You could use a similar technique to taha's example [1] and add a custom
mixin to all DateField components using a ComponentClassTransformWorker2.

I don't understand this
I just want to be sure that someone did not forget to put a specific
attribute somwhere in the code.

You will need to contribute a BeanBlockContribution to
BeanBlockOverrideSource. This will require you to create a page which
contains the block that you would like to use instead (the override).
eg:
MyPage.java
@Environmental
@Property
private PropertyOutputContext context;
MyPage.tml
<t:block id="myDate">
<t:output value="context.propertyValue" format="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
</t:block>
AppModule.java
public static void
contributeBeanBlockOverrideSource(Configuration<BeanBlockContribution>
configuration {
configuration.add(new DisplayBlockContribution(DataTypeConstants.DATE,
"MyPage", "myDate"));
}

I agree with you that this is difficult to override. It would be nice if
there was an overridable service to provide default formats instead of the
current hard-coded DateFormat.SHORT.

You should be able to do this with a mixin but you cannot for the same reason
I'm having trouble with submitLabel in BeanEditForm.
see:
http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Can-t-change-BeanEditForm-submitLabel-with-a-mixin-td5716012.html
If the Parameter is defaulted to a readonly value you can't easily create a
global default. This is unfortunate and I'm going to experiment with fixing
this. I'm certain that ParameterWorker can be overridden with one that
ignores defaults but that may be a bit drastic.
