YUI’s datepicker from wicket-datetime localized

29 07 2007

For anyone using the YUI date picker from wicket-datetime: in trunk (soon beta 3) it now uses localized months and days (of week). Support is as good as the JVM allows for (the code depends on DateFormatSymbols which seems to support many locales, but not nearly all available), but if you need, you can provide your own support (override the localize method and set the appropriate properties). To test and illustrate the localized datepicker, I added a separate example in wicket-examples (/dates, package ‘org.apache.wicket.examples.dates’).

There were two locales that didn’t look quite right to me. Hindi (India) rendered question marks all over the place, and Han Chinese looked like the days were all the same. Help with would be greatly appreciated!

Btw, I renamed ‘configureWidgetProperties’ to ‘configure’ and made the old method signature final. Sorry if that broke any of you, but as long as we’re in beta I like to break rather then deprecate :).

Thanks to Gerolf Seitz for thinking with me and keeping on top of the datepicker and Al for fixing another potential render issue this week!

that’s a great solution.
btw, the next improvement to the date picker is nearly finished (at least on my machine). expect a jira issue later today.

Check out the examples (wicket-examples) that use it.
