Learning Java now :)

So, the company where I am working at the moment has made the move into a Java based web environment. Lots of reasons and I'm not going into them here as this is a personal blog (despite the technical nature) and I'm not going to discuss work decisions or anything that may be confidential in nature of course.

But - I have a blog, I'm learning a lot of new stuff and it makes sense to switch the focus of the blog to whatever I'm using/doing/learning rather than a single focus on Symfony as I originally planned.

So watch out for a lot of new posts as I go... most of what I learn will posted here for my future reference

Forms & Forms

Two little snippets this morning (been busy already).

Firstly, form widget errors and I18n...

Brilliant stuff - if you add the error string you've defined in your form class into your I18n catalogue, it'll automatically translate. No further work needed!

Secondly - and this a little pointer :) I had updated a choice widget to set a default value. However, I noticed that even though the HTML was showing it as selected, Firefox was still showing the previous 'default' - the first option in my alphabetical list.

Clearing cookies for the site (presumably so a new session was generated) resolved the issue and displayed the expected default item.
