richfaces calendar component does not support custom date type correctly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-2969 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-2969 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.0 Reporter: Tim Evers To reproduce this problem: Create a custom date type (eg. MyDate.class) Create a converter(MyDateConverter.class) for the custom date type and register it for the custom date type (converter-for-class MyDate.class) Now create a richfaces calendar component that has its value attribute bound to a variable of type MyDate.class Expected result: In Get Scenario - String value of MyDate.class is displayed on page, using MyDateConverter.getAsString() In Post Scenario - value of MyDate.class is updated based on the string value in calendar component, using MyDateConverter.getAsObject() Actual result In Get Scenario - String value of MyDate.class is displayed on page, using MyDateConverter.getAsString() (This works!!! yay) In Post Scenario - "Error, invalid attribute type", getAsObject is never called on MyDateConverter Workaround: Specify in the calendar component the converter. eg <rich:calendar id="myDateInput" enableManualInput="true" value="#{MyBean.myDate}" converter="MyDateConverter" datePattern="dd/mm/yyyy" /> -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
