Does EditorValueParser get called before CustomValidator?

[jay.l.fisher]

I have a FloatItem on a form with an EditorValueParser, and a CustomValidator. Should I expect the value returned from the parser to be the value that gets passed to the CustomValidator? Or does the CustomValidator get called before the parser?

The parser is first.

Thanks for the ultra-quick response. I have a related question. What type of Object should the parser return? Right now I'm returning a Double. Should it be a Float?

And if I don't have a parser, should the CustomValidator expect the value to be a Float?

Either Float or Double should be OK, both become JavaScript Number objects, which are, roughly speaking, in between Float and Double precision.

If you don't have a parser, your custom validator should be ready to receive a String even if the field is declared as type "float", since the (implicit) type-based validator will turn valid user input into Floats, but will pass invalid input along to the next validator still as a String.
