    Possible to set Calendar Locale/DatePattern globally?

    kenrod Jan 22, 2008 4:49 PM

      Is it possible to set the Locale/DatePattern for the Calendar control globally (eg. in a web.xml context-param or something) so that I don't have to put...

      <rich:calendar locale="..." datePattern="..."/>


      ...every time I use the tag?

      Regards,

      Richard.

          You could make a facelet-tag like the one I use:

          inputCalender.jspx

          See facelets documentation on how to use tag files (chapter 3.5.5)

            Thanks Daniel, that's a great tip.

            I didn't know Facelets had a 'half way house' between putting the tags in the JSP file and extending your own UIComponent class.

            I'll take a look at it.
