László van den Hoek [http://community.jboss.org/people/laszlovandenhoek] created the discussion "Re: rich calender for jbpm task variable not working" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/618356#618356 -------------------------------------------------------------- I solved the problem using a Converter. I used this Ilya Shaikovsky's example in this thread as a starting point: http://community.jboss.org/message/57921#57921 http://community.jboss.org/message/57921 in faces-config.xml: {code} <converter>   <converter-id>calendarTimestampConverter</converter-id>   <converter-class>my.client.CalendarTimestampConverter</converter-class> </converter> {code} CalendarTimestampConverter.java: {code} package my.client; import java.util.Date; import javax.faces.component.UIComponent; import javax.faces.context.FacesContext; import javax.faces.convert.ConverterException; import javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; public class CalendarTimestampConverter extends DateTimeConverter {           private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass());           @Override           public Object getAsObject(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent component,                               String dateString) {                     logger.debug("getAsObject(): " + dateString);                     Object result;                     try {                               result = super.getAsObject(arg0, component, dateString);                               if (result instanceof Date) {                                         //make it a Timestamp, because that is what jBPM will make of it anyway                                         result = new java.sql.Timestamp(((Date) result).getTime());                               }                     } catch (ConverterException ex) {                               return null;                     }                     return result;           }           @Override           public String getAsString(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent component,                               Object dateObject) {                     logger.debug("getAsString(): " + (dateObject == null ? null : (dateObject.getClass().getSimpleName() + " " + dateObject.toString())));                     String result = null;                     try {                               result = super.getAsString(arg0, component, dateObject);                     } catch (ConverterException ex) {                               return null;                     }                     return result;           } } {code} Then I simply add converter="calendarTimestampConverter" to my rich:calendar, and presto! No more jBPM problems. Still, this is a hack and should be fixed in jBPM, IMO. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/618356#618356] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
