[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (RF-9016) Richfaces UICalendar doesn't obey String->String converter

Richfaces UICalendar doesn't obey String->String converter ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-9016 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF-9016 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 3.3.2.SR1 Reporter: Gergely Nagy Fix For: Future_3.X We have a use case where the model has dates in the ISO 8601 format as Strings, but we want to use a different date pattern in richfaces calendar. The current implementation of UICalendar.getAsDate() short-circuits conversion if it detects that the value is String in the model. The expected behavior would be to first check if there is a converter, use it, and only then try to be smart about value type. Our current workaround is to extend HtmlCalendar and override this method as such: public Date getAsDate(Object date) { Converter converter = getConverter(); if(converter != null) { FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); return super.getAsDate(converter.getAsString(context, this, date)); } return super.getAsDate(date); }
