Hi Alexandre,
The datepicker tag has been on the move between 2.0.1 - 2.0.3. I would
suggest not to use 2.0.2, and wait until the next stable build is
released, must likely 2.0.3. If you can't wait, and decide to build from
source, and still have the same problem, let us know.

Hi,
Previously, when I was using version 2.0.1, my JSP was:
s:datepicker name=equipamento.dataCadastro format=#dd/#MM/#
value=%{dataEqp}/
The property dataCadastro in bean equipamento (property of my action) is
from type java.util.Date . It's worked!
Now, I'm using the actual version that I´ve copied from
http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/2.0.2/ . The tag was modified and
I change for:
s:dropdowndatetimepicker name=equipamento.dataCadastro type=date
language=pt-br/
After submit it generates error: Invalid field value for field
equipamento.dataCadastro. In my console shows 2 messages:
SEVERE: ParametersInterceptor - [setParameters]: Unexpected Exception
catched: Error setting expression 'dojo.equipamento.dataCadastro' with
value '[Ljava.lang.String;@6adb31'
SEVERE: ParametersInterceptor - [setParameters]: Unexpected Exception

What's happened?

Re: [s2] dropdowndatetimepicker
Great news! I have applied the patch for me, tested and it reads the property perfectly :) It is now correctly initialized. Good work. Thanks! But some issue is still there - format of the data submitted with the form. If I use it this way: s:dropdowndatetimepicker name=end displayFormat=-MM-dd language=pl / Produced URL: /my.action?=2006-12-25end=2006-12-25 then it works. But if I change it to: s:dropdowndatetimepicker name=end displayFormat=dd-MM- language=pl / Produced URL: /my.action?=2006-12-25end=25-12-2006 Then it ends with a large stacktrace in the browser and logs (see WW-1577). The display format attribute works perfectly for displaying it on the form, but still not in the submitted form data. Each dropdowndatepicker creates a pair of properties. The 1st one is always unnamed and contains date in the correct format for parsing (I think). The 2nd format depends on the displayFormat. Maybe the property name could be controlled in the same way as it is done with autocompleter? s:dropdowndatetimepicker name=end displayFormat=dd-MM- language=pl / It could mean: hidden 'end' field using the standard save format - matches the Date property in form displayed 'endDisplay' field using the display format - not needed in Form, may be ignored I know this is not something new, but if it works for autocompleter ...

Re: [s2] dropdowndatetimepicker
I attached a new patch to WW-1579, the name of the textfield will now be
dojo.${name}. This will make the params interceptor throw an
exception, WW-1551 is asking to ignore such parameters. In the meanwhile
you can implement ParameterNameAware on your action and ignore anything
that starts with dojo.

Re: [s2] dropdowndatetimepicker
The latest patch fixed all issues that I had before with this tag.
I tested it with various displayFormat values
-MM-dd
MM
dd-MM-
and it always worked as expected.
Thanks a lot.

Re: [s2] dropdowndatetimepicker
Hi Dariusz The thing is that the dropdowndatetimepicker is expecting the value to be an string, which is wrong, I will submit a patch to fix it so if the value is of type Date, it will format it using saveFormat, and then use it as the value. Now, I'm not sure what to do to with the submit, I don't know how to instruct S2 to use an specific format to populate a field. musachy Dariusz Wojtas wrote: Hi, I ma trying to use the dropdowndatetimepicker tag but with little success.
