JAVA: ICEFACES: component <ice:selectInputDate> mapped on a "java.util.Calendar" field
- by blummihaela
Does anybody knows how can component <ice:selectInputDate> be mapped on a java.util.Calendar field, not java.util.Date?
I am using from IceFaces version 1.8.2, the component <ice:selectInputDate>. This component requires to be bound with a java.util.Date proeprty. For example, value="#{bean.myDate}", the myDate field must be of type java.util.Date. But I need my date field to be of type java.util.Calendar.
My trials: I have tried to use standard converter or a custom one:
Standard one: <f:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy" /> it formats correct the value in GUI, but when setting it on the property bean.myDate of type Calendar I get following error message:
[5/3/10 12:09:18:398 EEST] 00000021
lifecycle I WARNING: FacesMessage(s)

Custom one: <f:converter converterId="c2d"/>
getAsObject - returns the java.util.Calendar object out of the submitted String.
getAsString - receives an Object, and returns the String formatted.
NOTE: this method was hacked so instead of expecting java.util.Calendar, to be complementary with getAsObject method. Instead, the hacked method getAsString, expects an java.util.Date, provided as parameter (by ice:selectInputDate) and returns the String formatted.
But still an error message occurs:

Any hint is very useful!
