Hi,
in the past (until WO 5.4) I often have used a WOTextField with a
formatter to prevent errors like this:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: While trying to invoke the
set method "public void com.cx.harow.eos._ArztFolgedokLeistung
$StorageClass.setAnzahl(java.lang.Short)" on an object of type
com.cx.harow.arzt.dokumente.ArztFolgedokumentationContext
$TempFolgedokLeistung we received an argument of type
java.lang.String. This often happens if you forget to use a
formatter."
When a value was invalid the formatter did not set an invalid
value in my objects.
Now, in WO 5.4 this is no longer true. When the formatter fails
to parse a string it still gets pushed into the target object. As
this is documented is must somehow be considered "expected"
behavior. Unfortunately this breaks all our apps, as no class
handles those invalid strings.
Whoa! Where is this documented? I also depend on this.
I don't see this mentioned in the 5.4.2 release notes. Is there a
bug report already? How is this meant to work now?
I just tested this now and got a class cast exception in the
released version of 5.4.2 when I typed a string into a text field
with a formatter on it:
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
[2008-7-15 17:19:11 PDT] <WorkerThread13>
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
at
net
.foo
.core
.searchfields.DateSearchField.qualifyOnValue(DateSearchField.java:64)
That is just an out and out bug. I don't see how it can be fixed
other than by replacing WOTextField
Reported as 6078428.
AFAIK, this renders 5.4.2 worthless to me. Well, unless someone
patches it in Wonder. :-P I am not sure that I will bother yet.
Also having major issues with posts and forms. I am not sure of the
details, but it looks like takeValues and invokeAction both get
called, but no values are taken and no action invoked.
Still working on this one.
