how to restrict inputDate to be the 1st date of each month within a range of date
Hi,
with the following code, I don't think it suits my need. Please advise if there is way to achieve only allowing 1st day of each month within a certain range, say within Oct 15, 2008 - Oct 30, 2010 to be selectable. If this is not possible, backend validation is the only choice.
<tr:inputDate id="days" value="#{bean.date}"
label="Select a date, but check possible holidays first">
<tr:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<tr:validateDateRestriction invalidDays="#{bean.date.nationalHolidays}" />
</tr:inputDate>

Probably because it's easier to pick using one component than two.
Maybe he could try using
<tr:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM"/>
and see if that will automatically set the day part to 01 no matter
which day is picked.
If he wanted something different, another option is an
h:selectOneMenu that listed yyyy-MM rather than two separate
components.

Hi,
Why do you want to select only the 1st day of each month? do you want to
select a month with this component? If so, why don't you just use two
<h:selectOneMenu> components, one for the month and one for the year?

I'm not sure that adding a validDays attribute is a very workable
solution. What happens if there is an overlap with the valid and
invalid days? Right now, the same thing could be accomplished by
putting all of the dates in the date range in the invalidDays list and
removing the first day of the month.
I haven't used the validateDateRestriction tag personally, but unless
it prevents the user from selecting the dates in the invalidDates
list, you probably shouldn't use it for use case because it would be a
bad UI design to allow the user to select a date that is invalid.
If you want to make an enhancement request to the component, you
should file a Jira issue. Suggestions on an email list will most
likely be ignored.

That sounds good.
Also May be we can suggest trinidad to have another attribute called "validDays" for the tr:validateDateRestriction component like the following:
<tr:inputDate id="days" value="#{bean.date}"
label="Select a date">
<tr:convertDateTime pattern="yyyy-MM-dd"/>
<tr:validateDateRestriction validDays="#{bean.date.allowableDates}" />
</tr:inputDate>

If you are going to limit the date selection to the first day of the
month within a date range, you are probably better off just to use a
selectOneChoice with a selectItem for each month that is within the date
range. The inputDate does not provide much benefit here since there is
only one date per month that can be chosen.
