Bug in JSF??? <h:outputText> and <f:convertDateTime>

[dandii]

Hi,

I know that this is no richfaces Problem but I have a really strange problem regarding JSF and the field creationDate.

I get different results for the following two code sections! For the first one my results is "2011-01-14" and for the second one my result is "Thursday, January 13, 2011". Do you know a solution this problem??

<h:link id="creationDateLink" value="#{project.creationDate}" outcome="/project/project">
  <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="full" timeZone="GMT" />
  <f:param name="projectId" value="#{project.id}" />
</h:link>

<h:outputText value="#{projectHome.instance.creationDate}">
  <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="full" timeZone="GMT" />
</h:outputText>

It looks like f:convertDateTime does not work in the first case. And probably h:link does not support any converters.

It works when  I change the convertDateTime in both examples tag to (but the style is still different!):

<f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="full" timeZone="GMT+2"/>

Then it seems to be a bug. Could you try "GMT+0", please?

Hi Ilya,

I think your previous is the correct one, because I even can't change the pattern!

The solution is to specify the correct timezone and to surround the <f:convertDateTime timeZone="GMT+2"> with a <h:ouputpanel>.

thanks for your help!
