<s:selectDate> localization
---------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-623
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-623
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Patch
          Components: JSF
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0.GA
            Reporter: Stephan Bublava
            Priority: Minor


Currently <s:selectDate> is not locale-aware. This affects day names, month names, buttons as well as the date string written to the text field via JavaScript.

selectdate-localization-patch.txt is a first step to improve this.

Changes include:

- Weekends use a distinct CSS style and can be highlighted if desired. (I've changed the booking example to demonstrate this).

- The first day of the week is no longer harcoded to Sunday, but calculated according to the current locale settings (e.g. Monday for German).

- Day and month names are localised as well.

Open issues:

- Weekends are hardcoded to Saturday and Sunday. I have no idea how determine this info using Calendar, &c. APIs.

- Date formats are not kept in sync between JSF and JavaScript, which always uses MM/DD/YYYY, regardless of the locale.

- Button names ("close", "this month") are still hardcoded.

- It might be more flexible, to translate day / month names with the application ResourceBundle instead of using DateFormatSymbols.
