> 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.
