SimpleType.setNormalDisplayFormatter() broken in svn 1141

Smart GWT Technical Q&A

The following example used to work fine in the past:

package org.yournamehere.client;

import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.i18n.client.NumberFormat;
import com.smartgwt.client.core.DataClass;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.Record;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.SimpleType;
import com.smartgwt.client.data.SimpleTypeFormatter;
import com.smartgwt.client.types.FieldType;
import com.smartgwt.client.widgets.DataBoundComponent;

public class MainEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {
    
    public MainEntryPoint() {
    }
    
    public void onModuleLoad() {

        final NumberFormat amountFormat = NumberFormat.getFormat("###,###.###");

        SimpleType amountType = new SimpleType("amount", FieldType.FLOAT);
        amountType.setNormalDisplayFormatter(new SimpleTypeFormatter() {

            @Override
            public String format(Object value, DataClass field,
                    DataBoundComponent component, Record record) {
                return amountFormat.format(Double.valueOf(value.toString()));
            }
        });
    }
}

Now in svn 1141, the GWT console shows exception:

00:00:19,248 [ERROR] Unable to load module entry point class org.yournamehere.client.MainEntryPoint (see associated exception for details)

This will be fixed soon. The issue is that some initialization code in JsObject is not being executed with such a simplistic sample. As a workaround try added a dummy member variable like private Record rec = new Record();

Thanks for the workaround - is ok.
