[jira] Created: (MYFACES-1179) f:convertDateTime can't handle 'complex' value bindings

f:convertDateTime can't handle 'complex' value bindings
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1179
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1179
     Project: MyFaces Core
        Type: Bug
    Versions: 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT    
 Environment: MyFaces-1.1.2-SNAPSHOT + Tomahawk-1.1.2-SNAPSHOT
    Reporter: Jesper Pedersen


I've the following

  <%request.setAttribute("today", new Date());%>
  <h:outputText value="<h2> #{today} </h2>" escape="false">
    <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="medium"/>
  </h:outputText>

which should - to section 5.1.2 of the spec - output

  <h2> Mar 16, 2006 </h2>

But outputs:

  <h2> Thu Mar 16 09:29:15 UTC 2006 </h2>

So it seems that f:convertDateTime can't handle 'complex' value binding expression.

[jira] Resolved: (MYFACES-1179) f:convertDateTime can't handle 'complex' value bindings

Posted by "Volker Weber (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>.
     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1179?page=all ]
     
Volker Weber resolved MYFACES-1179:
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid


Such a 'complex' value binding expression results in a String value!

According to spec 3.3.2 a converter should 
> convert the model view of a component's value (typically some native Java programming language class) 
> into the presentation view (typically a String

Your components value is a String which can't be converted by the dateTimeConverter.

you can use use
 
  <%request.setAttribute("today", new Date());%>
  <h:outputText value="<h2>" escape="false">
  <h:outputText value="#{today}">
    <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="medium"/>
  </h:outputText>
  <h:outputText value="</h2>" escape="false">

instead.
