calendar with datePattern yyyyMMdd

[baz]

Hello,
[Using Richfaces 3.1.3GA]
we have to use the calendar together with this datePattern: yyyMMdd

 <rich:calendar value="#{germinationTestBacking.completedDate}"
 enableManualInput="true" datePattern="yyyyMMdd">
 </rich:calendar>

This results e.g. in 2008MMdd in the inputbox when the popup is used to select a date.
This is a hard requirement for us, that dates must be entered as 20080116.

I have searched jira and this forum but with no success.
Before entering a FR or a bug in Jira i decided to first ask here.
Ciao,
Carsten

We are quite sure that this has worked with previous versions of richfaces.
Since our project depends now on the new features of rf3.1.3. But we will test this again with rf3.1.2 asap.
Ciao,
Carsten

I'd say it would be very useful for you to get the source and step through the UICalendar code in the debugger. There's some curious munging of the datePattern in that class (in 3.1.3). I can't predict from inspection exactly what it's going to do.

I have tested it with rf3.1.2 It works ok
So there must be an bug in rf3.1.3 concerning datePattern. I will enter a JIRA request soon.

I hope you use this issue to FINALLY separate the converter logic from the calendar renderer - see RF-997 ;)
