Justin Rosenberg updated RF-12594:
----------------------------------

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

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

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

> If the defaultText 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 defaultText value into a date.
