Pat McCabe commented on MYFACES-1172:
-------------------------------------

Any progress on this issue ?? I can't set the timezone properly at all. 

e.g. using MyFaces 1.1.5 SNAPSHOT
<h:outputText value="#{listingBean.cl.dateSubmitted.time}">   
	<t:convertDateTime timeZone="#{listingBean.cl.timeZone}" type="both" dateStyle="short" timeStyle="short" />
</h:outputText>

I tried using both a TimeZone object, and then the string ID of the timezone.  Both cases resulted in a null pointer exception.

>            Reporter: Raphael A BEREHOUDOUGOU
>
> When used with el <f: convertDateTime > does not seem to be able to resolve the EL. 
> <f:convertDateTime type="date" dateStyle="#{attr.patternStyle}" pattern="#{attr.patternFormat}" />
> Typically parttern in ConvertDateTime when you debug the code is null. Yet a system.out displays the right pattern.
> Beacsuse the pattern cannot be resolved a convertion error is thrown. When the value of pattern is change to be a static string line "dd-MM-yyyy", everything works fine.
> In the case above attr is the Object in the current row of a <x:dataTable>
