We have learned to use four powerful and useful components—Grid, BeanEditForm, DateField and FCKEditor. They can save us a lot of work since with minimal configuration, they produce a rather sophisticated, functionally rich piece of interface. We have also found out that:
We can change the way an object is displayed by
GridandBeanEditFormcomponents, in terms of which properties are displayed and how they are ordered.We can override the default rendering of a property by
Gridor the default editor selected for it byBeanEditForm, using the<t:parameter>element.We can modify the titles of the columns in the
Gridor the labels of the fields in theBeanEditFormby providing appropriate messages in the application's message catalog.
We can change the appearance of the components by overriding the default CSS styles in the stylesheet that we provide ourselves.
We already have several controls that accept user input in the application, but nowhere have we checked what kind of input...
