During testing we found that text input fields for date values set up with a converter: <s:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/> allow for the year input as 20007, which blows up on the DB side of things. The unexpected thing here is that I expected the converter to limit year inputs to 4 characters (yyyy). I'm pretty sure this is right; but obviously not. What are we doing wrong? The actual db error is that in DB2 the year exceeds '9999' View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4092005#...
