Method Detail

parseTextEntry

ObjectAdapter parseTextEntry(ObjectAdapter original,
                           String text,
                           org.apache.isis.applib.profiles.Localization localization)

Parses a text entry made by a user and sets the domain object's value.

Equivalent to Parser#parseTextEntry(Object, String), though may be implemented through some other mechanism.

Parameters:

localization - TODO

Throws:

InvalidEntryException

TextEntryParseException

parseableTitle

String parseableTitle(ObjectAdapter obj)

A title for the object that is valid but which may be easier to edit than the title provided by a TitleFacet.

The idea here is that the viewer can display a parseable title for an existing object when, for example, the user initially clicks in the field. So, a date might be rendered via a TitleFacet as May 2, 2007, but its parseable form might be 20070502.
