[Trinidad] How to control 's starting date?

Dear Trinidad developers,

First, thanks for a great library.

I am using the following, probably very familiar, construct:

       <tr:inputDate chooseId="fromDate" label="From date:"
value="#{userchoice.fromDate}">
             <f:convertDateTime timeZone="CET" pattern="dd-MM-yy"/>
       </tr:inputDate>
       <tr:chooseDate id="fromDate" />


It's a big annoyance for me that <tr:chooseDate /> can't be somehow made to
get the initial values of its associated <tr:inputDate/>.
tr:chooseDate always goes to the current date.

Could someone please advice me on fixing the above?
I'm not a Trinidad developer and the product is in production, so I am
looking for a Javascript workaround (rather than having to patch the
Trinidad code).

I have tried working around this issue with JavaScript

 <tr:document onload="document.myForm.fromDateyear.selectedIndex=#{userchoice.fromDate.year-100};
document.myForm.fromDatemonth.selectedIndex=#{userchoice.fromDate.month}; ">

but it doesent work too well, also not if I include
document.myForm.fromDateyear.onchange();
document.myForm.fromDatemonth.onchange();



Thanks
Jacob Nordfalk

DateTimeRangeValidator preventing it). This can be useful, but also
problematic when the date to be selected is decently old, like a birthdate
for instance. A decent workaround would be to add an attribute on the
component to fix the initial selected date of the date picker."

Hi Matthias, and sorry for not seeing your answer:

Looking at the code of the renderer (ChooseDateRenderer)'s encodeAll(), I
> see that it looks for the current date, here:
> ...
>     long currTimeMillis = 0;
>     Object currTimeValue = bean.getProperty (_currTimeKey);
>     if (currTimeValue != null)
>       currTimeMillis = ((Date) currTimeValue).getTime();
>     else
>       currTimeMillis = System.currentTimeMillis();
> ...
>

Now, excuse me for asking probably stupid questions (I'm just a user of your
component library, and have never looked at how they work inside):

1) Does this mean that if I could somehow set the property _currTimeKey to
the desired value, then I would have a workaround?

2) As I don't have the source code and the field _currTimeKey is not in my
decompiled class stub of class
org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.renderkit.core.xhtml.ChooseDateRenderer,
could you please give me the value of that key?

3) I have no idea how to get access to the renders. I have access to the
CoreChooseDate bean frm my code

  private CoreChooseDate bean_fromDate;

  public void setBean_fromDate(CoreChooseDate bean_fromDate) {
    this.bean_fromDate = bean_fromDate;
    if (bean_fromDate==null) return;
    System.err.println(bean_fromDate.getAttributes());
    System.err.println(bean_fromDate.getChildCount());
    System.err.println(bean_fromDate.getChildren());
  }

  public CoreChooseDate getBean_fromDate() {
    return bean_fromDate;
  }

Please tell me how to get access to the renderer of the bean.


Thanks!

Jacob
