[FormProc-developer] setters for primitive JavaBean properties

[Christian C. <chu...@ya...>]

Hi,
 
I'm having problems validating a field that is a boolean.  In my
javabean I have a property "female" which is of type boolean (primitive
boolean) and has a corresponding setter "setDoNotEmail(boolean
doNotEmail)".  I'm doing this because I'm trying to validate a
JCheckBox.  
 
In my xml config file I've tried both:
 
   <element name="doNotEmail" optional="true">
        <write-method>setDoNotEmail</write-method>
    </element>
 
Because from what I can tell the converter doesn't apply as the original
value is actially of type boolean and doesn't require conversion.
 
When I try to run validation I get in my log:
 
2004-08-23 22:52:31,35338736 [AWT-EventQueue-0] DEBUG org.formproc.Form
: Validating field doNotEmail
2004-08-23 22:52:31,35338736 [AWT-EventQueue-0] DEBUG org.formproc.Form
: Using validator:org.formproc.validation.PassValidator@18d7ace
2004-08-23 22:52:31,35338736 [AWT-EventQueue-0] DEBUG org.formproc.Form
: Validation complete.
2004-08-23 22:52:31,35338736 [AWT-EventQueue-0] DEBUG
org.formproc.store.ReflectionStorer : Storing value:true
2004-08-23 22:52:31,35338736 [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO  org.formproc.Form
: No method found for parameter doNotEmail
 
Looking at the store(...) method of ReflectionStorer it looks like it
did intelligently convert the boolean to a Boolean as the value
parameter must be an Object, however the MethodUtilities.invoke(...)
must not be able to reflectively find the setter method.  And since the
MethodUtilities class is hidden away in the edenlib.jar file I can't see
what's going on.
 
When I add the setter method setDoNotEmail(Boolean doNotEmail) using the
Boolean object it seems to work.  This is strange to me because when
I've coded reflection in the past I know you have to specify the Boolean
wrapper class for the method signature but it will find a method that
uses the primitive.
 
Is there a way for me to not implement a setter for a boolean property
only using the primitive setter method?
 
Thanks,
Christian

[FormProc-developer] DTD Validation

[Christian C. <chu...@ya...>]

Is there a way to turn on the DTD validation for the formproc xml config
files?  Do I need to add a DOCTYPE XML directive like the one that shows
up at the top of typical web.xml files like the following?
 
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application
2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
 
What would the values be?  Does the DTD have to be accessible over the
web?  Is there a way to do it locally?  
 
Thanks,
Christian

[FormProc-developer] Problem (potential bug?) with FormManager#loadForm(Configuration)

[Christian C. <chu...@ya...>]

I have a form with an element-group specified in the following way:
 
    <element-group name="dailyRecurrence">
        <element name="dailyRecurrence"/>
        <element name="recurrsEveryXDays"/>
        <element name="recurrsEveryWeekday"/>
        <elememt name="numRecurrsEveryXDays"/>
        <validator type="shared" name="dailyRecurrence">
            <error lang="en">Daily recurrence problem.</error>
        </validator>
    </element-group>
 
I also have several single "element" elements in the file as well.  What
I've noticed tracing through the code is that although the element-group
seems to load ok from the configuration file only 3 out of the 4 sub
elements within the element-group get returned as part of the the
formConfiguration's formElementGroups' Map entry for the
"dailyRecurrence" element-group.  The DefaultFormElementGroup object's
formElement list for "dailyRecurrence" contains only 3
DefaultFormElement objects that correspond to the first 3 elements and
none exists for "numRecurrsEveryXDays".  The code I've been tracing
through is on line 530 of FormManager.java and then it goes into
ClassPathResourceLoader.java but I haven't been able to get my IDE to
trace into that code correctly which is making me tear my hair out.
 
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on this problem or if I'm
missing something.  I'm using the latest version of formproc in cvs and
also using the edenlib that comes with it, version 2.0b1.
 
Thanks,
Christian
