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" />
