Good Day, Thank you for your help. I created properties that return string representations of the date & time values and I use the jscalendar component to select the date & times. Seems to work just grand. I have only one issue that if the date string could parsed then it does not report the exception even though I throw ParseException in those properties. Should I be using validation to parse the submitted values?
