[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (RF-9482) rich:calendar backed by String not using custom converter

rich:calendar backed by String not using custom converter --------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-9482 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-9482 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component Affects Versions: 3.3.3.Final Environment: Found in RichFaces 3.3.3Final Reporter: Nicola Jones Assignee: Andrey Markhel Labels: rich_calender Fix For: Future_4.X When a rich:calendar is backed by a String property and has a custom converter to change the date pattern of the String to & from a user locale specific pattern, it fails to use the converter when determining or setting the current date. datePattern set on the rich:calendar is a user specific format read from properties. HtmlCalendar getCurrentDate returns the unconverted form property value i.e. not in the user's format. UICalendar then calls getAsDate(currentDate) which detects that the value is a String and not a Date and attempts to convert it to a Date: if (date instanceof String) { DateTimeConverter converter = new DateTimeConverter(); converter.setPattern(this.getDatePattern()); this results in an exception because it's using the date pattern for the calendar which is different to the unconverted format of the current date.
