1) Yes of course

2) I do not remember - it is an idea - however, there was a h:messages on the calendar as we got some message (see screen shot) but no message for the conversion error. With the workbench, we can easily test the case as I have added a calendar in one screen by default - We just need to modify the backing bean (controller) for sql.Date type and see what is appening.

sql.Date and util.Date are both native standard format to java. Why do not support them as standard. Moreover, most of the time, we received the data from the database/ORM and the date is SQL date.
What about having something like "auto-boxing" or automatic conversion when it is feasible for native format?


We are not alone for this need and around.

> When a backing-bean have a type of sql.Date which is mapped to a rich:calendar, there is an conversion error due to the rich:calendar component uses util.Date by default. Unfortunately, we do not see any error message at the screen when an ajax request is sent and returned back to us.
> What we got, and thanks to Firebug, is the text below as an answer from our Ajax request POST. Nothing is rendered at the screen and the method of the backing bean is not called.
> {code}
> <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
> <partial-response><error><error-name>class javax.faces.component.UpdateModelException</error-name><error-message><![CDATA[/pages/client/createClient.xhtml @479,230 value="#{phoneBean.effectiveDate}": Cannot convert 12-03-08 00:00 of type class java.util.Date to class java.sql.Date]]></error-message></error></partial-response>
> {code}
> Our code looks like this (we remove unecessary field and decoration):
> {code}
> <a4j:outputPanel id="phone-container" styleClass="panel-command-container" layout="block">
>   <!--               -->
>   <!--   ADD PHONE   -->
>   <!--               -->
>   <h:commandLink id="add-phone"

> Is is possible to have a message returned back to the UI??? or is there a way to handle this error properly?

> =================
> The form is inside a dynamic tab - Fragment are also include dynamically - we use c:if et subView as shown below:
> {code}
> <c:if test="#{tab.id eq desktopTabController.activeTab}">
>   <f:subview id="#{tab.id}-subView">
>     <ui:include src="#{tab.xhtmlFile}" />
>   </f:subview>
> </c:if>
> {code}
