I use the rich:calendar 3.1 component in my seam app as follows:

<s:decorate id="dobDecorate" template="/edit.xhtml">
 <ui:define name="label">#{messages.date_of_birth}</ui:define>
 <rich:calendar id="calendarDate" value="#{coach.dateOfBirth}"
 popup="true" datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy" enableManualInput="true"
 required="true" reRender="dobDecorate" ajaxSingle="true"
 bypassUpdates="true"/>
</s:decorate>

i used to have the <a:support> tag with event="onblur" and reRender="dobDecorate" inside a <s:selectDate>. This doesn't seam to do the trick with the richfaces calendar. I've tried almost every possiblity.

Can someone show me how you can get the a4j validation to work on a rich:calendar field? Thx
