>                 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
>         Assigned To: Vladislav Baranov
>             Fix For: 3.2.1

>
> 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" />
