numeric colulmns in search filter

[clahrcwr]

Hi,

Using seam-2.3.0.final, jboss7, mySQL.

I'm using seam-gen to reverse-engineer *List.xhtml pages from an existing DB.

The generated search filter,  *List.xhtml and *List.java,  ignore all non-character columns, effectively not providing the option to search on Date or Numeric type columns.

Manually added non-character fields to *List.xhtml and *List.java are simply ignored.

Is this a SEAM restriction, 'feature', bug, ???

Looking into the FreeMarkers template files generating *List.xhtml and *List.java - they seem to explicitly only process string(character) type columns - so this must be SEAM design decision.

Manually added non-character fields to *List.xhtml and *List.java are simply ignored.

This was my fault - new <param name...> definitions for the new fields must be also added to the *List.page.xml file.
