[jira] [Commented] (TRINIDAD-2386) Client dateTimeConverter overly strict, restricts years to max 4 digits

["Yee-Wah Lee (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-2386?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13660065#comment-13660065 ] 

Yee-Wah Lee commented on TRINIDAD-2386:
---------------------------------------

The date converter's _subparse method calls _accumulateNumber with maxLength=4. This means that years are at most 4 digits long. 

However, this is stricter than the server. Javascript accepts a wider range than 4 digit years, the range accepted is 6 digits long.

> 1. Go to http://example.irian.at/trinidad-demo/faces/convertValidate/clientConvert.jspx
> 2. In the date converter, enter a date with 5 digit years, e.g. 5/31/20139
> 3. Click Submit -> get error about the date being in the incorrect format
