Conversion error using inputDate with a non-US browser locale
I'm having trouble using the Tomahawk inputDate for non-US locales. If in
Firefox I set my general.useragent.locale to "en-US", all is well. However,
if I set my locale to "en-GB", I get a conversion error from the inputDate.
Stepping through the debugger, it appears that when my locale is "en-GB" and
I submit a date of April 15, 2010, the value of the date submitted is
"4/15/2010," while the inputDate's DateTimeConverter is expecting the value
of "15/04/2010."
I've tried the following:
- setting the inputDate's timezone to "Europe/London"
- associating an f:convertDateTime with the inputDate, giving the
converter the locale of "en-GB"
- setting the locale in f:view to "en-GB"
I've also confirmed that "en-GB" is a supported locale in the
faces-config.xml. I'm out of ideas over here, and any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks much!

No luck - the DateTimeConverter associated with the inputDate gets called
first.

Yes, that's true. However, the javascript that takes the values from those
three fields and uses them to construct the String that is eventually passed
as the inputDate's submitted value IS locale-aware. The problem seems to be
with the the JS not properly acknowledging the locale, and therefore using
the wrong pattern to build the value string.
Can anyone who's using inputDate in Europe send me a code snippet of how
you're using it?
Thanks!

Can you try with convertDateTime and specify the pattern that you want to
use

Hi
When t:inputDate is rendered, its input fields are rendered in this form:
encodeInputDay(inputDate, writer, clientId, userData, disabled,
readonly);
encodeInputMonth(inputDate, writer, clientId, userData,
currentLocale, disabled, readonly);
encodeInputYear(inputDate, writer, clientId, userData, disabled,
readonly);
For that component that is fixed and the code does not check the locale
before render them.

No, I've not tried the inputCalendar. In stepping through the debugger, I'm
seeing places where facesContext.getViewRoot().getLocale() is returning the
proper Locale, so I'm at a loss as to why the pattern is staying
"dd.MM.yyyy" instead of "MM.dd.yyyy."

Hi
Did you tried with the property "popupDateFormat" on t:inputCalendar? The
default is :
javax.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy",
facesContext.getViewRoot().getLocale());
