rich:calendar backed by String not using custom converter
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-9482
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/RF-9482
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: component
    Affects Versions: 3.3.3.Final
         Environment: Found in RichFaces 3.3.3Final
            Reporter: Nicola Jones


When a rich:calendar is backed by a String property and has a custom converter to change the date pattern of the String to & from a user locale specific pattern, it fails to use the converter when determining or setting the current date.

datePattern set on the rich:calendar is a user specific format read from properties.

HtmlCalendar getCurrentDate returns the unconverted form property value i.e. not in the user's format.

UICalendar then calls getAsDate(currentDate) which detects that the value is a String and not a Date and attempts to convert it to a Date:

if (date instanceof String) {
     DateTimeConverter converter = new DateTimeConverter();
     converter.setPattern(this.getDatePattern());

this results in an exception because it's using the date pattern for the calendar which is different to the unconverted format of the current date.
