convert parameter f:param with s:convertdatetime

[jfrankman]

I have a simple page that I am trying to pass a date parameter to:

 <s:button view="/RptphdmgbinderEdit.xhtml"
 id="create"
 value="Create rptphdmgbinder">
 <f:param name="policyeffdate" value="#{policy.effectiveDate.time}" rendered="#{policy.effectiveDate!=null}"></f:param>
 </s:button>

The date does get passed to the next page, but it is not in the format I want. I have tried to do something like:

<f:param name="policyeffdate" value="#{policy.effectiveDate.time}" rendered="#{policy.effectiveDate!=null}">
<s:convertDateTime pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
</f:param>

But this does not work. Other than adding a conversion method to my policy class is there any way and can make the date get passed according to the "MM/dd/yyyy" pattern. It seems like a pretty simple problem to solve, but I just can't figure this out. I was thinking there might be a way to do this with EL, but I am still a bit new at this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that f:param support any converter.

I have the same problem.

I tried the same. And I tried to convert date time after send it, but it does not work because it is a String.

In the receiver:

<h:outputText value="#{param.s_fechaAlta}">
 <s:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
</h:outputText>

I want send date from A.xhtml to B.xhtml, and If I do this in A:

<h:dataTable id="tablaOperaciones" value="#{expedientes}" rows="10" class="blue-table" border="1" var="op">
 <h:column>
 <f:facet name="header">#{messages.fecha_alta}</f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{op.altaDt}">
 <s:convertDateTime pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
 </h:outputText>
 </h:column>

It works fine. But if i do the same in B when I receive the date from A, it does not work.

Any idea.

You could try passing along the timestamp in a long value
