Creating a dateTime component

[Vinicius Carvalho <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hello there folks. I need to create a datetime component composed of
textfields and selects (text for hours, and selects for
days/months/years).
What's really tricking me is how can I be able to convert 5 fields
into a date object? My first Idea was to create a
AbstractFormComponent and user the writer to write everything, but it
occurred to me that use a html template like this:

<input jwcid="day@PropertySelection" model="daysInMonth"/> <input
jwcid="month@PropertySelection" model="monthsInYear"/> <input
jwcid="year@PropertySelection" model="years"/> <input
jwcid="hour@TextField"/> <input jwcid="minutes@TextField"/>

And on my component I'd provide the models for everything. But how to
bind 5 fields into one object?

Could someone point me the directions, I promise as soon I finish it
I'll post it here, I believe its an good addition to the framework (if
it don't stinks too much).

Bind them to 5 objects.
Then add a "date" parameter to your component.
On render, read the date parameter and 'extract' the values
that those 5 objects should have.
On rewind, read the 5 objects and use them to update the
date parameter.

Tapestry In Action contains a similar example ... a credit card
component is created from 4 textfields.
