> We have a use case where the model has dates in the ISO 8601 format as Strings, but we want to use a different date pattern in richfaces calendar. The current implementation of UICalendar.getAsDate() short-circuits conversion if it detects that the value is String in the model.
> The expected behavior would be to first check if there is a converter, use it, and only then try to be smart about value type.
> Our current workaround is to extend HtmlCalendar and override this method as such:
> 	public Date getAsDate(Object date) {
> 		
> 		Converter converter = getConverter();
> 		
> 		if(converter != null) {
> 			FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
> 			return super.getAsDate(converter.getAsString(context, this, date));
> 		}
> 		
> 		return super.getAsDate(date);
> 	}
