How to validate date in calendar?

[ziyang]

I did some research and the outcome is "The date correction is done based on the pattern date you use and it's done on the client."

Now, if I input some random stuff like "dfasdf" into the calendar input, a message will be print out in server console "sourceId=registerForm:j_id17[severity=(ERROR 2), summary=(registerForm:j_id17: '
fasdf' could not be understood as a date.), detail=(registerForm:j_id17: 'fasdf'
could not be understood as a date. Example: 10/25/10)]"

How could I know the input is not correct? I want to know if the input is correct from some mechanism and then do something to tell the users they are wrong.(For example, set the bg color of the input into red)

Thank you very much.

hi,

I dont think RF has this kind of build-in function .But you can give a lable to your calendar, and define

javax.faces.converter.DateTimeConverter.DATE and
javax.faces.converter.DateTimeConverter.DATE_detail

to make the message more comprehensive.

use onchanged for example to trigger some client side validation additionally. our built-in validation triggers when you entering something and then opening the popup in order to check if that is a valid date and popup could be opened to reflect it.
