Daniel Soneira commented on RF-997:
-----------------------------------

my problem still persists with richfaces-ui-3.1.3-20071115.052920-19-bin.zip

simple code: 

<h:form>
        <rich:calendar enableManualInput="true" popup="true" />
        <h:commandButton value="submit"/>
</h:form>

===> enter "asdf" into the input field -> wham!! - still an exception is thrown in RENDER phase.

same as if you would enter characters into a field where you expect numbers and the whole application crashes because of that.

expected behaviour: just show the page with the last valid value -> add the conversion error to the faces messages (which automatically is done when a converter throws an ConverterException).

again: There should be NO CONVERSION whatsoever in the render phase.

>
> Calendar component uses converter.getAsObject on render phase. 
> This is wrong. 
> Correct behavior - use converter.getAsObject  on process validations phase.
> In case of bad user input - converter will give conversion exception, display submitted value in input field, in calendar grid select last user selected day (if exists).
