just one:

You can do many things using a managedBean implementing a java.util.Map.

class MyDateConverter extends AbstractMap {

  private SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm");

public Object get(Object key) {
   if (key instanceof Date) {
      return format.format((Date)key);
   }

  return null;
}

public Set entrySet() {}

}


tip="The date is #{myDateConverter[userBean.date]}"

Thanks Volker.

That's exactly the way I did it also yesterday.
This is very often the last chance for some shortcomings in EL or JSF.
