rich:calendar not considering datePattern correctly?!

[datenklo]

Hello everyone,

I'm using the rich:calendar component:

<rich:calendar
  ...
  id="inpToCalendar" 
  showWeeksBar="false" 
  datePattern="#{msg.datePattern}" enableManualInput="true"
  buttonIcon="/resources/common/images/bt_datepicker.png"
  locale="#{sessionController.language}"
  converterMessage="#{msg.wrongToDateFormat}"
  ...
</rich:calendar>

datePattern has the following format:

dd.MM.yyyy

When I enter for examlpe the date "01.1111.9999" (of course it is wrong), I will see the converterMessage, because the format is wrong.

When I enter something like "01.01.15" I do not see the converterMessage and the following date is set: "01.01.0015".

Is this an expected behaviour? I would think of a wrong format here, because the year is entered "yy" and not "yyyy".

Thanks and regards

Sebastian

Fixed the problem using a custom converter extending DateTimeConverter and use f:converter inside the rich:calendar tag:

@FacesConverter("shopDateTimeConverter")
public class ShopDateTimeConverter extends DateTimeConverter {


    public ShopDateTimeConverter() {
        setPattern("dd.MM.yyyy");
    }


    @Override
    public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
        if (value != null && value.length() != getPattern().length()) {
            throw new ConverterException("Invalid format");
        }
        return super.getAsObject(context, component, value);
    }


}

<f:converter converterId="shopDateTimeConverter"/>
