----------------------------

    Workaround Description: 
*Workaround #1:*

Use Placeholder component from RF 4.3

*Workaround #2:*

This can be handled by custom JavaScript to clear value before submission.

On a4j:commandButton add {code}onclick="clearEmptyDate();"{code}

Then clear the date if it still matches defaultLabel.  Example using JQuery:
{code}
<h:outputScript>
    function clearEmptyDate() {
        if('MMDDYYYY' == jQuery("#searchParticipant\\:dobInputDate").val()) {
            jQuery("#searchParticipant\\:dobInputDate").val('');
        }
    }
</h:outputScript>
{code}

> If the defaultLabel attribute is set for a rich:calendar object and no value is entered, a conversion error occurs.  It seems like the submission is trying to parse the defaultLabel value into a date.
