             Summary: RichFaces scaffolding does not handle temporal fields in JPA entities correctly
                 Key: FORGE-913
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-913
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Scaffold
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0.Final
            Reporter: Vineet Reynolds
            Assignee: Vineet Reynolds


The RichFaces scaffold generator creates {{rich:calendar}} components in the facelets, but without a {{datePattern}} attribute. The behavior of this component in such a case is to not provide the embeddded timepicker. This works for temporal fields of type Date.

But, this is certainly not sufficient for temporal fields of type Timestamp. A {{datePattern}} with a time pattern like {{MMM d, yyyy HH:mm}} or {{MMM d, yyyy hh:mm:a}} needs to be generated for such fields to allow time inputs.

For temporal fields of type Time, consider generating a different widget, since the RichFaces calendar widget is not capable of providing the timepicker alone.
