Yeah, this is what I'm proposing as well ... I feel Pierre's pain
with not wanting to rewrite and maintain deprecated code, but I
fear WO becoming what everyone hates about Tapestry, which is that
it goes through huge breaking revisions every release. There is a
large base of legacy apps, and especially if there are relatively
straightforward deprecation routes, it would be better to not
break than to break, I think (this is obviously subject to a
religious debate, I suspect). I'm especially wary of breaking
changes that just break semantics rather than syntax. In this
case, it's breaking the interpretation of random strings inside of
WODs, which will make for a really annoying fix. Alternatively, I
suppose someone could write a conversion app to convert all the
old style into new style, but that only partially addresses the
issue.
Most of the symbols have a SDF equivalent, as seen below. And the
ones that don't wouldn't be difficult to provide functionality for
by subclassing SDT I would think (which still excludes api
compatibility with NSTimestampFormatter's other methods).
I'd be happy to whip this up later in the week and contribute to
Wonder if people want it.
Let's see if we can convince Pierre to do this in WO so that everyone
can have it. As Pierre said last week, "Wonder is not the place to
fix problems in WebObjects". ;-)
