[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12594) rich:calendar defaultLabel causes conversion error if not populated.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12594?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Justin Rosenberg commented on RF-12594: --------------------------------------- {code} Lukáš, I tried using the placeholder component in the following manner with the latest 4.3.0-SNAPSHOT {code} <h:panelGroup layout="block" styleClass="controls"> <rich:calendar enableManualInput="true" value="#{managedBean.dob}" id="dob" locale="US" popup="true" datePattern="MMddyyyy" showApplyButton="false" styleClass="span11" cellWidth="24px" cellHeight="31px" converterMessage="Use MMDDYYYY format"> <rich:placeholder value="MMDDYYYY" /> </rich:calendar> <span class="help-inline"><rich:message for="dob" /></span> </h:panelGroup> {code} The submit button was: {code} <a4j:commandButton type="submit" styleClass="controls btn btn-primary" value="Search" id="searchButton" execute="@form" render=":searchResutPanel" action="#{managedBean.search}" /> {code} The placeholder text did display and disappear if I put the cursor in the box. However, after clicking the command button, the <rich:message> displayed the converterMessage of "Use MMDDYYYY format". It did not automatically clear the placeholder text or ignore it on submit. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
