Richfaces.Calendar.parseDate using pattern "yyMMdd" is incompatible with java.text.SimpleDateFormat
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-8136
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-8136
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
            Reporter: Francisco Jose Peredo Noguez


I have a rich calendar configured with the pattern "yyMMdd"

If the user writes 600210 and the user clicks the little calendar button to show the popup, he can see that the date has been translated to "February 10 of 2060" but if he writes 700210 it is translated in to "February 10 of 1970". That is not consistent  the behavior of  java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

The problem is at the file 3.3.1.GA\ui\calendar\src\main\resources\org\richfaces\renderkit\html\scripts\calendar.js (line 394 of the file):

At the function Richfaces.Calendar.parseDate = function(dateString, pattern, monthNames, monthNamesShort) method:

var yy = parseInt(match[y],10); if (isNaN(yy)) return null; else if (yy<70) yy+=2000; else if (yy<100) yy+=1900;

That code translates the year in 600210  to 2060 when it should translate it to 1960 (to be consistent with java.text.SimpleDateFormat behavior.
