public class DateEditor
extends GenericFormHandler

This class allows for the manipulation within a form of a java.util.Date property in another component.

A component created with this class should be request scoped. Therefore everytime a page with a form that uses this component will always have the current time. If you want the component to have the time at the beginning of the session, then make the component session scoped.

An example of creating a date and setting it in the java.util.Date.property follows:

 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Year">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Month">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Day">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Hours">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Minutes">
 <input type="hidden" value="" bean="DateEditor.submit">
 

Note the above example assumes these date manipulation fields are within a form that calls another bean. The hidden input is to call the submit method of the DateEditor bean to ensure that the desired java.util.Date property is updated.

Another example that allows the manipulation of the current value of the java.util.Date.property follows:

 <setvalue bean="DateEditor.Date"
   value="bean:NewsRepositoryFormHandler.value.goLiveDate">

 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Year">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Month">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Day">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Hours">
 <input type="text" priority=100 bean="DateEditor.Minutes">
 <input type="hidden" value="" bean="DateEditor.submit">
 

NOTE: Do NOT set the properties Year, Month, Day, Hours, Minutes directly in the .properties field or using the Dynamo Developer Workbench. Do this only if you want the DateEditor always to have these values. Currently whenever the DateEditor is created it always has the current date and time.
