[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3551) Seam can not convert java.util.Date, it ignores javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter

[Pete Muir (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3551?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12434903#action_12434903 ] 

Pete Muir commented on JBSEAM-3551:
-----------------------------------

So, JSF doesn't require you set a pattern if you set a Locale (and Seam/JSF share the same Locale), it only requires you to set the type to either "both", "date" or "time".

So there really is no reason why we can't attach by defaut.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.2.SP1
>         Environment: Jdk 1.5. Tomcat 6.0.18, Jboss Tools 2.1.2

> Create a Seam project using  Jboss Tools 2.1.2.
> Create a new Seam Form with name "SeamDateForm"
> Open the file SeamDateForm.java and change the value from Integer to java.util.Date.
> Right-click seamDateForm.xhtml and click Run As... -> Run On Server.
> Write something in the form (like for example some random string "dfasdf")
> You will get the error: Conversion Error setting value 'dfasdf' for 'null Converter'. 
> Now create a Date Converter, as the one included in the attached test case project (BTW it inherits from javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter).
> Stop the application (just to be 100% sure everything gets loaded correctly)
> Again:
> Right-click seamDateForm.xhtml and click Run As... -> Run On Server.
> Write something in the form (like for example some random string "dfasdf")
> Now you get the right error: value must be a date, eg. 10/13/2008.
> Of course it not only fails when you write a random string, even if you write a correct date, like 01/01/2001, you will get an error that says: Conversion Error setting value '01/01/2001' for 'null Converter'. But if you write your own converter (for example inheriting from javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter) everything works fine.
> I think Seam should use javax.faces.convert.DateTimeConverter by default, I shouldn't need to create my own converter.
