<rich:calendar> how to show popup at certain date

[javatwo]

Hello,

I like to show rich:calendar pop-up at the date defined in backing bean, not system time (new Date()).

<rich:calendar  value=... currentDate={bean.currentDate} />

I got error message:

Property 'currentDate' not writable on type java.util.Date

currentDate should be read only.

How to position pop-up at user-defined date(not system time) ?

Thanks for help.

Dave

Hello Dave,

Try like below,

<rich:calendar value="#{calendarBean.selectedDate}"

                       locale="#{calendarBean.locale}"

                       popup="#{calendarBean.popup}" readonly="true"

                       datePattern="#{calendarBean.pattern}"                     

                       cellWidth="24px" cellHeight="22px" style="width:200px"/>

I have created calenderBean.java file,

public CalendarBean() {

        locale = Locale.US;

        popup = true;

        pattern = "MMM d, yyyy";

        jointPoint = "bottomleft";

        direction = "bottomright";

        readonly = true;

        enableManualInput=false;

        showInput=true;

        boundary = "inactive";

    }

_________________________________________________

public Date getSelectedDate() {
	String dateString = "09/03/2012";
	Date convertedDate = null;
	SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
	try {
	convertedDate = dateFormat.parse(dateString);
	selectedDate = convertedDate;
	} catch (ParseException e) {
	// TODO Auto-generated catch block
	e.printStackTrace();
	}
	return selectedDate;
	}

Thanks,

Siva

Hi Siva, Thanks for sharing.

I noticed in your example that the value is bound to calendarBean.selectedValue that is initialized to a date.

In my case, the value is null and user is required to input a date. In our application, there is a clock different from

system clock. we want to <rich:calendar> to use our own clock.

Thanks.
