<s:selectDate> and i18n

[pippin1966]

Hi,

I've been working with Seam for two weeks now and I think it's a great framework. It's incredible the amount of functionality it can do with so little code :-)

I have a problem with one of the Seam jsf controls: <s:selectDate>

¿Is there anyway to i18n this control? I need:

(a) First day of the week must be Monday not Sunday
(b) The literals, I need spanish literals
(c) It seems there is a bug in this control, always formats de date using MM/dd/yyyy

Thanks in advance and congratulations for your great work (chapeau ;-)

funny pippin, I was just typing a similar question:
Can't help you out in the first two questions, but what I did notice, is that the control formats MM/dd/yyyy after redeployments. If I do a fresh start of the app server, the control formats everything correctly.
Do you experience the same problem?

(a) This is possible in Seam2
(b) What literals?
(c) What pattern are you providing in s:convertDate Time

[damianharvey]

If you render the date control via Ajax (eg. Ajax4JSF) then the format will always be MM/dd/yy. Would this apply to you?

[dajevtic]

Yes, damian. Thanks for the hint. I include the tag via a4j:include in a richfaces modal dialog.
Is there a way around this?

(a) OK, thanks
(b) Sunday -> Domingo, Monday -> Lunes, etc
(3) Now it's working OK, very strange. Even if I redeploy. This is a fragment of the xhtml file

<s:decorate id="entradaBancoDecoration" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Fecha entrada</ui:define>
<h:inputText value="#{expediente.entradaBancoDt}" id="entradaBancoDt">
<s:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
</h:inputText>
<s:selectDate for="entradaBancoDt" startYear="1990" endYear="2030" dateFormat="dd/MM/yyyy">

</s:selectDate>
</s:decorate>

And thanks erverybody for your replies

So, that comes froms the locale (if set) - set your locale, you should get it localised.

You were right Pete. Everything it's OK now, even Monday it's the first day of the week. Thanks a lot
