I have a date field in my form definition setup as:

<fd:pattern>MM-dd-yyyy</fd:pattern>
<fd:pattern>MM/dd/yyyy</fd:pattern>
</fd:patterns>
</fd:datatype>
</fd:field>
When a user enters a date such as 10-20-2005 a failure is the result,
with the form generating a validation message. When entering the date as
10/20/2005 the submission is successful. Is it possible to accept both
these formats? If so how should this be setup?
Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
The only way I know to have "multiple" patterns is with locale:
<fd:convertor type="formatting">
<fd:patterns>
<fd:pattern>MM/dd/yyyy</fd:pattern>
<fd:pattern locale="nl-BE">dd/MM/yyyy</fd:pattern>
<fd:pattern locale="fr">dd-MM-yyyy</fd:pattern>
</fd:patterns>
</fd:convertor>
Example taken from:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/widgetconcepts/datatypes.html
But this won't allow two "active" patterns at the same time which seems
to be what you're after.
You might also consider using aggregated fields, see (click "switch"
button):

Just hints,
Patrick
