table.tagx bugged?

[Macs]

Spring roo 1.1.4
The created list.jspx shows incorrect values for the field concatenting the date evaluated in the previous row to all the text fields:

es:

this is a test      |12/06/2001|13/06/2011
foo13/06/2011       |05/06/2007|14/05/2011
thirdrow14/05/2011  |04/01/2011|13/05/2007

ecc..
Modifing table.tagx solved my problem:
after this:

            <c:set var="columnMaxLength" value="${lengths[num.count-1]}" />
            <c:set var="columnType" value="${types[num.count-1]}" />
            <c:set var="columnDatePattern" value="${patterns[num.count-1]}" />

add this:

            <c:set var="colTxt" value=""/>

Roo concatenates all column values to a max of 10 characters by default for list views. This is so things keep looking nice. You can change these defaults by setting the maxColumnLength attribute in form:display elements.

I don't understand your reply...
why this tag library concatenate the last date value with all the text value columns of the next row? I can't imagine a reason for this.
It seems to me that is a bug, and I've proposed a correction.

I think it's related to this problem:
http://forum.springsource.org/showth...444#post364444

in my original table.tagx i have this:

                <c:otherwise> 
               		<spring:eval expression="item[column]"/>
                </c:otherwise>

instead of this:

                <c:otherwise>
                	<c:set var="colTxt">                            
                  		<spring:eval expression="item[column]"/>
                  	</c:set>
                </c:otherwise>

Ah, ok, thanks for letting us know. This explains the confusion. Roo also offers a command to manually update changed tag definitions: http://static.springsource.org/sprin...vc-update-tags.

HTH,

updating with "web mvc update tags" command changed that line in table.tagx with :

  <c:otherwise> 
         <spring:eval expression="item[column]" var="colTxt"/>
  </c:otherwise>

that resolves the previous issue, but introduce a new one. With this solution the tag does not use the registered custom converter for an object, it call the toString method of the object-
The tag has to be exactly like this to work with converters:

                <c:otherwise>
                	<c:set var="colTxt">                            
                  		<spring:eval expression="item[column]"/>
                  	</c:set>
                </c:otherwise>

Can you please open a Jira ticket for this?

here is the ticket:

[Stefan Schmidt]

This has already been resolved and should be available with Roo 1.1.5.
