Hi All,
I beleive I have discovered a serious bug in the inputCalendar
component. This is the situation:
I have a form backing bean with a Joda datetime object in it. The value
expression is #{formBackingBean.dateTime}. I create a htmloutput text
and set it's value and I set the converter. I use this code:
<f:outputText value='#{formBackingBean.dateTime}"
converter="DateConverter" />
This works perfectly. When I debug the DateConverter the value of the
input text is the date time object from the form backing bean. I then
format the date time object and I see the date in the output text box on
the screen. By the way the DateConverter is a custom converter that
converts joda DateTime objects into a String and vice versa.
Now I create a tomahawk inputCalendar and set the value and the
converter in the same way like this:
<t:inputCalendar value='#{formBackingBean.dateTime}"
converter="DateConverter" />
When I debug the date converter, the moethod getAsString indicates that
the value of the input calendar is null. I beleive there is a bug in the
input calendar object since the joda date time object from the form
backing bean is not loaded in the input calendar. I use the same value
expression as the output text and that component works perfectly so it
isn't some typo.
Any help would be great,
Martyn Hiemstra
