rich Calendar with Date Range

guga.java Dec 28, 2012 4:42 PM

Hi to all,

Maybe this topic has already been discussed but I could not find the solution ...

The question is how to implement a "Date Range" calendar component in the RichFaces like this example http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/ # date-range?

I select a start date and the next field only let select future dates that date that was selected in the initial field?

i try to use preloadDateRangeBegin but I didn't understand very well how to use CalendarDataModel

Hello Gustavo,

Please have a look on the below link ,

OR

Get the from and to date in the back end bean and do the validation when clicking the save button or submit button.See the bold text.This will help you for the server side properly.

public String ValidateFormFieldsSearchTransaction()
{
    String action = null;
    try
    {
      if ((this.tnx_StartDate == null) || (this.tnx_StartDate.equals("")))
      {
        if ((this.tnx_EndDate == null) || (this.tnx_EndDate.equals("")))
        {
          action = "success";
        }
        else
        {
          log.debug("ValidateFormFields:From is null value.");
          FacesContext faceContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage();
          facesMessage.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
          facesMessage.setDetail(ppsResources.getString("errorSelectFromDate"));
          facesMessage.setSummary(ppsResources.getString("errorSelectFromDate"));
          faceContext.addMessage("psInclude:transSearch:SearchForm:selectFromDateField", facesMessage);
          action = "error";
        }
      }

      if ((this.tnx_StartDate != null) && (this.tnx_EndDate != null))
      {
        Boolean flagReturn = Boolean.valueOf(DateUtil.isDate1GreaterThanDate2(DateUtil.toString(this.tnx_StartDate, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm"), DateUtil.toString(this.tnx_EndDate, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")));
        if (flagReturn.booleanValue())
        {
        log.debug("ValidateFormFields:From is greater than To date.");
          FacesContext faceContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage();
          facesMessage.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
          facesMessage.setDetail(ppsResources.getString("errorSelectCorrectDate"));
          facesMessage.setSummary(ppsResources.getString("errorSelectCorrectDate"));
          faceContext.addMessage("psInclude:transSearch:SearchForm:selectCorrectDateFormatField", facesMessage);
          action = "error";
        }
        else
        {
          Boolean flagValue = Boolean.valueOf(DateUtil.isGreaterThanToday(this.tnx_EndDate));
          log.debug("Flag todategreater:" + flagValue);
          if (flagValue.booleanValue())
          {
          log.debug("ValidateFormFields:TO is greater than Today date.");
            FacesContext faceContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage();
            facesMessage.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
            facesMessage.setDetail(ppsResources.getString("errorTodategreater"));
            facesMessage.setSummary(ppsResources.getString("errorTodategreater"));
            faceContext.addMessage("psInclude:transSearch:SearchForm:selectToDateFormatField", facesMessage);
            action = "error";
          }
          else
          {
            action = "success";
          }
        }
      }
      if ((this.tnx_StartDate != null) && (this.tnx_EndDate == null))
      {
        Boolean flagValue = Boolean.valueOf(DateUtil.isGreaterThanToday(this.tnx_StartDate));
        if (flagValue.booleanValue())
        {
          log.debug("ValidateFormFields:TO is greater than Today date.");
          FacesContext faceContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage();
          facesMessage.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
          facesMessage.setDetail(ppsResources.getString("errorFromdategreater"));
          facesMessage.setSummary(ppsResources.getString("errorFromdategreater"));
          faceContext.addMessage("psInclude:transSearch:SearchForm:selectToDateFormatField", facesMessage);
          action = "error";
        }
        else
        {
          action = "success";
        }
      }
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return action;
}

Thanks,
Siva
