f:validator on rich:calendar

[andyxr]

Hey y'all

I have a very simple validator class.
I have a very simple rich:calendar:

<rich:calendar
 enableManualInput="true"
 value="#{andyBean.date}"
 id="issueDate"
 datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy"
 validator="issueDateValidator"
 immediate="false">
 <a4j:support event="oninputblur" bypassUpdates="true" ajaxSingle="true" reRender="dateDecorator" />
 <f:validator validatorId="issueDateValidator"/>
</rich:calendar>

If I enter a valid date into the calendar, my validator gets triggered (but validation passes). If I enter an invalid date (e.g "09/209990") and do a blur, the validator is never called. In fact nothing happens.
Is this because there is some sort of default calendar validator taking over?
Any ideas?

Hi,

That happens because validators work over converted date, but you've entered non-convertible date string.

Thanks for that bit of info.

Don't suppose you know how, then, to do validation on a non-valid date format?
