Method Detail

getConvertEmptyInputStringToNull

public final boolean getConvertEmptyInputStringToNull()

Should the bound object become null when the input is empty?

Returns:

true when the value will be set to null when the input is empty.

isInputNullable

public boolean isInputNullable()

TextFields return an empty string even if the user didn't type anything in them. To be able to work nicely with validation, this method returns false.

Overrides:

isInputNullable in class FormComponent<T>

Returns:

True if this component's input can be null. Returns true by default.

See Also:

FormComponent.isInputNullable()

convertInput

protected void convertInput()

Description copied from class: FormComponent

Converts and validates the conversion of the raw input string into the object specified by FormComponent.getType() and records any errors. Converted value is available through FormComponent.getConvertedInput().

Usually the user should do custom conversions by specifying an IConverter by registering it with the application by overriding Application.getConverterLocator(), or at the component level by overriding Component.getConverter().

Overrides:

convertInput in class FormComponent<T>

See Also:

FormComponent.convertInput()

onBeforeRender

protected void onBeforeRender()

If the type is not set try to guess it if the model supports it.

Overrides:

onBeforeRender in class Component

See Also:

Component.onBeforeRender()

setConvertEmptyInputStringToNull

public final FormComponent<T> setConvertEmptyInputStringToNull(boolean flag)

Should the bound object become null when the input is empty?

Parameters:

flag - the value to set this flag.

Returns:

this

convertValue

protected T convertValue(String[] value)
                  throws ConversionException

Description copied from class: FormComponent

Subclasses should overwrite this if the conversion is not done through the type field and the IConverter. WARNING: this method may be removed in future versions. If conversion fails then a ConversionException should be thrown

Overrides:

convertValue in class FormComponent<T>

Parameters:

value - The value can be the getInput() or through a cookie

Returns:

The converted value. default returns just the given value

Throws:

ConversionException - If input can't be converted

See Also:

FormComponent.convertValue(String[])

supportsPersistence

protected boolean supportsPersistence()

Overrides:

supportsPersistence in class FormComponent<T>

Returns:

True if this type of FormComponent can be persisted.

See Also:

FormComponent.supportsPersistence()
