[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBSEAM-3878) Excel e:cell null Values get hardcoded, non-localized "#not a number#" or "#not a date#"

Excel e:cell null Values get hardcoded, non-localized "#not a number#" or "#not a date#" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3878 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3878 Project: Seam Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Excel Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA Environment: Seam 2.1.1 GA, Windows, Jetty Reporter: Alexander Schwartz When there is a null date or a null number, the helper outputs a fixed, non-localized string "#not a number#" or "#not a date#" . I think it should work like h:outputText and the string should be empty. Another alternative would be to look up the string in the messages resources to be able to change it and to localize it. From JXLHelper.java: case number: try { return new jxl.write.Number(column, row, Double.parseDouble(data.toString()), cellFormat); } catch (NumberFormatException e) { return new Label(column, row, "#not a number#", cellFormat); } case date: try { return new DateTime(column, row, (Date) data, cellFormat); } catch (ClassCastException e) { return new Label(column, row, "#not a date#", cellFormat); }
